Actually that's Greg's wording. Yeah I do like it better. If you don't
already know what a template database is, "template1: default template
database" is going to convey precisely nothing to you. Greg's version
at least gives you the information that it has got something to do with
making new databases, which would probably be enough to prompt people to
go look in the right part of the docs.
