I'm okay with changing it. As you indicate, I chose the name so that it
doesn't look like a libpq variable. There are some other PG_ variables
throughout the code, but those appear to be mostly for internal use.
Also, there is GCC_COLORS, LS_COLORS, etc. But perhaps this wisdom will
be lost on users who just read the man page and get confused. ;-)
