I found these helpful when working on vacuumdb and refactoring the
code, though I'd agree this code may not justify going down to that.

Yeah, consistency is good, though I am not sure which one would be
consistent here actually as there is no defined rule.  For this one,
I think that I would keep what I have to be consistent with the
existing inconsistency (?).  In short, I would just add --tablespace
the same way there is --concurrently, without touching the connection
option part.
