I'm fine re-punctuating my current scripts. And since pgbench doesn't have
to be version-matched to the server it connects to, people can just keep
using the older version if they want to against a new server.

Are there other breaking changes we have been wanting to make? If so,
should we try to get them all in during the same release?
