Writing a pile of platform-specific code for this is simply insane from
a support point of view. The feature is NOT worth it. Especially not
since the typical result will be something quite uninformative like
"psql" or "java". The cases that are actually useful are the ones where
the application sets it. I don't think we should have a default at all
--- you don't set it, you don't get a name.
