As the maintainer of software that does multi-master, I'm a little 
confused as to why we would extend pg_bench to do this. The software 
in question should be doing the testing itself, ideally via 
it's test suite (i.e. "make test"). Having pg_bench do any of this 
would be at best a very poor subset of the tests the software 
should be performing. I suppose if the software *uses* pg_bench for 
its tests already, once could argue a limited test case - but it seems 
difficult to design some pg_bench options generic and powerful enough 
to handle other cases outside of the one software this change is aimed at.
