We could even name the non-abbreviated binary postgres :).

Sure, that'd cause a bit more trouble upgrading for people that scripted
starting postgres without going through pg_ctl or such, but OTOH it'd
not cause new naming conflicts. And all that'd be needed to fix the
start script would be 's/postgres/postgres server/'.
