Having read bits and pieces of this thread, can those in favour
confirm that this would be an effect of this patch? If so I fail to
see the usefulness of this and indeed it would be very harmful to
existing installations! All use of PostgreSQL utilities in scripts for
our product always do a '-U sprint' to use a global user, this aids
our internal development and makes installation notes for clients
easier...

Also what effect would adding significance to '@' in the context of
usernames have, if any, on the current use of it as a database/host
separator (in ECPG, certainly would be useful in the utilities too)?

Thanks, Lee.
