I have no issue with that as a long-term plan. However, I think that
for right now we should just introduce pg_create_subscription. It
would make sense to add pg_create_connection in the same patch that
adds a CREATE CONNECTION command (or whatever exact syntax we end up
with) -- and that patch can also change CREATE SUBSCRIPTION to require
both privileges where a connection string is specified directly.
