Comment:

 See related #1831 and #1834.  there isn't much I can do about this and
 others have complained on the postgresql list as well about custom tables
 not being backed up.

 Also refer to bug ticket:
 http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2012-05/msg00117.php

 and it has been discussed to add a dump extension option:
 http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2012-01/msg01765.php
 but to my knowledge this has not happened yet.

 I will however consider this a documentation bug and make sure to update
 the docs accordingly.
