Description
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.

How about dropping -r and replacing with an enhanced -s ? It would go like this:
