Looking at the docs pages on *.readthedocs.io, python.org, perldoc.perl.org,
rust-lang.org and php.net they all use variations of the dash, kubernetes.io
uses a pipe.  I doubt that the choice of separator character (among commonly
used such separators) will play a huge role in SEO - but that being said, if I
Google "postgresql timestamp data type" the top hit is the 9.1 docs so maybe we
should just not care about SEO at all =)

I don't have a local pgweb setup for now, so feel free to pick it up and play
with it if you have time.
