But that's actually a good thing, or you wouldn't be able to specify
your own password (as the connecting user) and the new pw for the user
you're adding/modifying in the same command.

Other than that, I share most of your frustration -- and I'm not even
talking about the different ways these tools interpret (or refuse to
interpret) double-quotes, or how the same tool treats them differently
depending on whether you are in batch mode or interactive mode...
