I propose that we change createuser so that it does not prompt for anything by default. We can arrange options so that you can get prompts for whatever is missing, but by default, a call to createuser should just run CREATE USER with default options. The fact that createuser issues prompts is always annoying when you create setup scripts, because you have to be careful to specify all the necessary options, and they are inconsistent and different between versions (although the last change about that was a long time ago), and the whole behavior seems contrary to the behavior of all other utilities. I don't think there'd be a real loss by not prompting by default; after all, we don't really want to encourage users to create more superusers, do we? Comments?
