It's pg_dump that's emitting the command to create the language. If you ran pg_dump from 9.0+, it would not do so. This
isan example of why the standard advice for upgrading is to use the newer pg_dump against the older database--you can
oftenget away without doing that, and I am one of those people who often ignores that advice and does things the easier
wayuntil it breaks, but it is safer.
