Not sure I believe that argument.  Among the set of existing libpq
environment variables I see

PGHOSTADDR
PGSSLCERT
PGSSLCRL
PGKRBSRVNAME
PGTZ
PGSYSCONFDIR

so it can hardly be said that there's a policy of avoiding
abbreviations.  PGCLIENTNAME would be better than PGAPPLICATIONNAME
I guess, but I still prefer the other.
