Yeah, if we were going to do it at all it should be handled
across-the-board, the way DROP IF EXISTS was. However, I seem to recall
that in the discussions leading up to implementing DROP IF EXISTS,
we considered and specifically rejected CREATE IF NOT EXISTS. Don't
have time right now to troll the archives for the reasoning.
