knedb create <db_spec> <name_of_new_db>
The command will create a database according to dbspec named name_of_new_db. If the name of
the new database is included in dbspec (as maybe when refering to a JSON/YAML file with connection info), then it is enough to give a colon - : - as the second arg, meaning it will
use the name given in the dbspec. Otherwise, we can override the name with the second arg.
$ knedb create arst?the_pass@pg:test14 :
