can the commands createuser and destroyuser be renamed to
pg_createuser and pg_destroyuser (as pg_dump) adding soft links to 
preserve backwards compatibility (declaring previous commands 
deprecated) ?

the same can be done for createdb and destroydb ...

I think is a much more nice namespace for Postgres wich is 
important when you have thousands of commands in this times.
