A little while ago there was someone asking for tools to make it easier
to connect to multiple servers. It occured to me that it might be
useful to have a config file the way ssh does it:
Something like pg_service.conf? Hardly anybody ever mentions it
even though the libpq documentation refers to it; I wonder how many
people even know it exists.

This needs a LOT more prominence. We probably need to refer to these
things on the manual pages for each of the libpq clients we have.
Haven't we learned that lesson from .pgpass ? The number of people who
read the libpq docs is probably vanishingly small.
