Hello,

I've reviewed all 4 of your patches, each one applies and builds correctly.

+1 to this from Peter. Variant 2 is nicely formatted with lots of information which I feel better solves the problem
thispatch is trying to address. 
 
Both versions 3 and 4 are a bit too jumbled for my liking without adding anything significant, even the shortened
version4.
 

If we were to go with variant 1 however, I think it would add more to have a link to the pgbench documentation that
refersto the different init steps. Perhaps on a new line just under where it says "see pgbench documentation for a
descriptionof these steps".
 

Overall good patch, I'm a firm believer that more information is always better than less.
