That is pretty close to "psql" and it will be utterly confusing for
new users. And everyone will have a hard time when talking about the
tools, imagine someone saying "please run psql appdbname" or "please
run pgsql createdb". The difference is just too small.

What might possibly make sense is to add options to psql to
facilitate common tasks:

psql --createdb foo
psql --createuser bar --superuser
psql --reindex foo
