Previously, pg_dump --filter could misinterpret invalid object types in the filter file as valid ones. For example, the invalid object type "table-data" (likely a typo for the valid "table_data") could be mistakenly recognized as "table", causing pg_dump to succeed when it should have failed. This happened because pg_dump identified keywords as sequences of ASCII alphabetic characters, treating non-alphabetic characters (like hyphens) as keyword boundaries. As a result, "table-data" was parsed as "table". To fix this, pg_dump --filter now treats keywords as strings of non-whitespace characters, ensuring invalid types like "table-data" are correctly rejected. Back-patch to v17, where the --filter option was introduced.
