The init-steps are severely under-documented in pgbench --help output.
I think at least a pointer to the the pgbench docs should be mentioned
in the pgbench --help output; an average user may not rush to read the
code to find the explanation, but a hint to where to find more details
about what the letters in --init-steps mean, would save them a lot of
time.
Agreed.
I would do it the way `pg_waldump --rmgr=list` or `psql
--help=variables` are handled: they give you a list of what is
supported. You don't have to put the list in the main --help output.
I think I prefer variant 2. Currently we only have 8 steps, so it might
be overkill to separate them out into a different option.
