One very minimal idea that isn't listed here is just to rename
createuser to createdbuser or createpguser, with similar changes for
dropuser, createlang, and droplang. That gives all commands a 'db' or
'pg' in part of the command, with no underscores, and it matches the
existing command that already have 'db'.
