I think it would be reasonable to only include the list of options used in
the dump if you use one that changes what appears in the dump. That way,
you wouldn't see anything by default. But if you make a modification that
will likely break a diff with an existing dump done with the default
parameters, the option change that introduced that should show at the very
beginning.
