I would not bother to create a patch for so small an improvement. This
makes sense in passing because the created function makes it very easy,
but otherwise I'll just drop it.

While developing, I often run pgbench under development client against an
already created set of tables on an already created cluster, and usually
the server side on my laptop is the last major release from pgdg (ie 11.5)
while the pgbench I'm testing is from sources (ie 12dev). If I type
"pgbench" I run 11.5, and in the sources "./pgbench" runs the dev version.
