Since the createuser command is a wrapper for the CREATE ROLE command, I
do not think it is appropriate to add options that the CREATE ROLE
command does not have.


I think that this feature is at least worth considering - but absent an existing command that does this I would agree that doing so constitutes a separate feature.

As an aside, I'd rather overcome this particular objection by having the CREATE object command all accept an optional "COMMENT IS" clause.
