I'm sorry to have given you the impression that I objected to it because
it was hard. Since I proposed the same thing a few lines after what you
quoted, I guess I have to agree it's not hard.
I think it's pointless, because if you're going to look at the usage
message to begin with, why not do what it already says? But I don't
care enough to argue about it any further.
Patches attached.

P.S. Trivia: I can't find any other options in Postgres where the
argument is mandatory but the option is optional.
