Hi all,

I see there's already a TODO for allowing pg_restore to accept
multiple --table arguments[1], but would folks support adding this
capability to various other commands which currently accept only a
single --table argument, such as clusterdb, vacuumdb, and reindexdb?

Looking at pg_dump, it seems like these other commands would want to
use the SimpleStringList / SimpleStringCell machinery which currently
lives only in pg_dump. I'm guessing that ./src/bin/pg_dump/dumputils.c
would be the right place for such common code?
