I wonder if this should be allowed syntax (i.e. specify a user, but connect locally, so leave 'host' to be an empty
string):
postgresql://user@/
Furthermore, if we want to connect locally, but to a non-default port:
postgresql://user@:5433/
I would also think that if one is to specify the password in the URI, and the password happen to contain the @-sign
(e.g."!@#$%^",) it should be percent-encoded, like:
postgresql://user:!%40#$%^@/
Reasonable?
