Description:
With mysqldump I can do this:

mysqladmin create copy_of_test
mysqldump test | mysql copy_of_test

With mysqlpump the "CREATE TABLE" statements are qualified with the schema name.
This makes it hard to restore in another schema.

This is useful when:
- Creating a copy for acceptance/test/etc
- Creating a copy as part of a migration
- Restoring into another schema and then picking a subset of tables to restore to the 'real' schema.
- Being able to restore a backup and then compare the current data against it.

How to repeat:
Try to use mysqlpump to restore into a different schema

Suggested fix:
Add --relative-table-names option
