Replication connection URI?

Hackers,

It appears that replication connection doesn't support URI but only the
traditional conninfo string.

src/backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver/libpqwalreceiver.c:99: in libpqrcv_connect():
   snprintf(conninfo_repl, sizeof(conninfo_repl),            "%s dbname=replication replication=true
fallback_application_name=walreceiver",           conninfo);
 

A patch to fix this welcome?

PS: I wrote the original URI parser used in libpq.
