Re: why -Fdance archive format option works with ./pg_restore but not with ./pg_dump?

./pg_dump postgres -Fp -f textdump

./pg_restore -Fp -d postgres textdump
pg_restore: error: unrecognized archive format "p"; please specify "c",
"d", or "t"

./pg_restore -d postgres textdump
pg_restore: error: input file appears to be a text format dump. Please use
psql.

wouldn't it be nice if we get the error message as same as when we didn't
gave format option and pg_restore finds the format
using _discoverArchiveFormat there it suggests to try psql ,instead of
saying "p/plain text" format is a invalid format,as we are doing currently
in pg.

thoughts?
