The steps are severely under-documented in pgbench --help output.

I agree it's not easy to find information.  I just went through double checking I had the order recently enough to remember what I did.  The man pages have this:

> Each step is invoked in the specified order. The default is dtgvp.

Which was what I wanted to read.  Meanwhile the --help output says:

>  -I, --init-steps=[dtgGvpf]+ (default "dtgvp")

%T$%%Which has the information without a lot of context for what it's used for.  I'd welcome some text expansion that added a minimal but functional improvement to that the existing help output; I don't have such text.
