For the use case I have in mind, my intention is that you shouldn't have to use a service at all to get these defaults to apply. > [service1] extends default > host=postgres.example.com > user=appuser Nested services is interesting as well. I don't think it solves my use case, because of a very subtle difference between defaults and services (I intend to go into more detail in the other email I'm typing up now). > I don't know how big a deal it is that this is no longer an "INI" file. We would almost certainly break some libpq-compatible software if we added new syntax. I don't know if that's a feature or a bug yet, but I do think it's avoidable, so I'm going to try to avoid it for now. Needs more thought. Thanks! --Jacob
