But I thought the whole point of PQconnectdbParams() was to provide an
extensible way to accept parameters when they are already parsed? It
doesn't make any sense to me to have conninfo parsing capability built
into PQconnectdbParams(). For that matter it's kind of an ugly hack that
PQsetdbLogin() supports it, IMHO.
