I dunno. The use of -e seems pretty pointless for a call that is going to
yield a trivial CREATE DATABASE command. Besides, we already showed a
minimal example. If you think Jason's example is too complex, what about
just subbing in "-T template0" for "-E LATIN1"? That should work
regardless of other configuration.

Also, your change to the text loses the point that -e provokes printing
the underlying command. Admittedly, that was somewhat indirect in the way
it was phrased before, but now the concept is just gone entirely; that
doesn't feel like an improvement either.

Personally I thought Jason's patch was fine as-is.
