Why not just remove them all and change the docs to suggest using
psql -c "CREATE DATABASE foo"
etc
Less code, no confusion because we have just one client tool - psql.
Several of them have the ability to connect to several databases, some
even do that in parallel.
vacuumdb being one that I've needed recently to do a number of DB's in a
row.
