Actually, you can. CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT is one of the commands that
work with psql, but that's not really practical compared to what
pg_recvlogical and pg_receivexlog can do.
$ psql -d "replication=1"
=# CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT hoge PHYSICAL;slot_name | consistent_point | snapshot_name | output_plugin
