Can we get the database to handle this instead / also?

If pg_dump / pg_restore were libs, could this be called via pl/pgsql
functions instead?
SELECT PG_DUMP(database text,schema text, filename text,
compressiontype text, other options...)SELECT PG_RESTORE(database text,schema text, filename text)

This would not be useable for client side dumps of the database. But in
those cases pg_dump could still be used, or the dump location
exported/shared.

This would also require the dump location to be writeable by the server
process (postgres user).
