Because my understanding is that the phrase "Connect as the given user"
is an imperative sentence. I won't pretend to be an expert in grammar
though.

If you'd like to argue that including a period is incorrect, that's fair
enough -- but please make that kind of policy consistent: other
sentences of the same form in that document include a period ("Include
large objects in dump.", "Dump data for table only.", etc.)

Cheers,

Neil
