Where are we on this? Tom thinks we don't want this. TODO has:
* Prefix command-line utilities like createuser with 'pg_'
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-06/msg00025.php
See for reference:
http://momjian.us/mhonarc/patches/468BB6FB.8050102@sun.com.html
One idea is to keep the existing commands and just add pg_* (or pg*) to
additional versions, with the idea that the original versions will be
removed some day.
