documentation references invalid -A assertion checks option
Both the documentation
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/app-postgres.html) and the
--help switch to postgres reference a -A switch to handle assertion
checking. Looking at the code, I don't see any entry for -A in the
getopt string and passing -A always fails with 'invalid option'
regardless of the compile time setting. If I'm right, either the docs
or the source need to be patched. The question is, which one? (I
vote to remove references to the option).

You're probably building master. That option has been removed (by me)
since. The 'devel' docs don't show the option anymore unless I missed a
place referencing it.

As Merlin says, HEAD is still doing this:
$ postgres --help
postgres is the PostgreSQL server.
Usage:
postgres [OPTION]...
Options:
-A 1|0 enable/disable run-time assert checking
...

Gah, 3bdcf6a5a7555035810e2ba2b8a0fb04dc5c66b8 removed several doc
references about it, but not --help. Will fix.
