My personal dislike for them is that they are incomplete...CREATE USER and
CREATE DATABASE have a helluva lot of options available to it...using
createuser, you don't know/learn abotu them...
Force the admin to learn what they are doing...if they want to create
short cut scripts, let *them* do it...
