The solution I came up with is to use a new letter, -I, and to deprecate -d by
having it throw an exception when used.
"Deprecate" does not mean "break".
This '-d' thing is more than just a matter of reading the documentation.
Our other command line utilities lead a person to assume (logically)
that '-d' means something completely apart from what it actually does.
I've made this mistake, so have most other sysadmins I know.
While this change may break existing scripts, the result is that future
users of Postgres will have a much less painful experience if they
accidentally try to use that option.
