Since it was waiting for reviewer, I was not sure whether I should wait
for his findings and fix everything in a single transaction.
Nevertheless, the next version is attached here.

It fixes findings reported in
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20130903165652.gc5...@eldon.alvh.no-ip.org

As for units
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20130903224127.gd7...@awork2.anarazel.de
I'm not convinced about "MB" at the moment. Unfortunately I couldn't
find any other command-line PG utility requiring amount of data as an
option. Thus I use single-letter suffix, just as wget does for the same
purposes.

As for this
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20130903125155.ga18...@awork2.anarazel.de
there eventually seems to be a consensus (I notice now the discussion
was off-list):
