 Perhaps its just me that is bothered by this, but I just noticed in
 developing my command line cheatsheet that we have the

 r switch defined for both pgsql2shp and shp2pgsql and they mean completely
 different things.

 For shp2pgsql the r switch is new and represents the input spatial
 reference system.

 In pgsql2shp -r means output in raw mode -- do not unescape attribute
 names.

 I'm not super bothered by it but thought I'd flag as an inconsistency.

 I suppose we can't change the old use of r, but since the new r is new, we
 could replace that.
