As the maintainer of software that does multi-master, I'm a little
confused as to why we would extend pg_bench to do this. The software
in question should be doing the testing itself, ideally via
it's test suite (i.e. "make test"). Having pg_bench do any of this
would be at best a very poor subset of the tests the software
should be performing. I suppose if the software *uses* pg_bench for
its tests already, once could argue a limited test case - but it seems
difficult to design some pg_bench options generic and powerful enough
to handle other cases outside of the one software this change is aimed at.
