Simpler as in "oh no extra underscore after pg in this one, all the
other commands like pg_ctl, pg_basebackup and pg_dump have one, but
this one does not, please remove it"? :)

This is also true.

Probably a perfect (but invasive) solution will be to reclaim `postgres` binary name as user command line entry point. So things can become `postgres server restart`, `postgres vacuum table`, `postgres cluster something`. If done in a pluggable manner others will be able to get under the same umbrella.

Thanks,
Darafei.
