Hrm, I'm not finding that on a quick look through the archives. Looking
at the other role options, we don't have any with underscores but we do
have a couple of cases where we uses spaces, eg:
CONNECTION LIMIT
VALID UNTIL
So, using EXCLUSIVE BACKUP would be similar to those, but we'd then need
to have the 'NO' version as 'NO EXCLUSIVE BACKUP', I'd think, and I'm
not sure we really want to go there.
On the other hand, we do run together the 'CREATE' options (CREATEDB,
CREATEROLE), and I've not heard anyone suggesting to change those.
I guess for my part, at least, having it run together as
'EXCLUSIVEBACKUP' seems fine, but this does make me realize that I need
to go add tab-completion for these new options. :)
Thanks!
Stephen
