I though about it, but I think so current state is good enough. There are
only few parameters - and I don't think significantly large number of new
options.
When number of parameters of any functions is not too high, then I think so
is better to have a function with classic list of parameters instead
function with one parameter of some struct type.
If somebody try to use function dropdb from outside (extension), then he
don't need to create new structure, new list, and simply call simple C API.
I prefer API of simple types against structures and nodes there. Just I
think so it's more practical of somebody try to use this function from
other places than from parser.
