Because you are using this:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/app-createuser.html
when you want to use:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/sql-createuser.html
To put it another way createuser is a stand alone command line program
to be run in a shell and CREATE USER is a SQL command.
