I think if we're going to provide multiple sets of connection info, we
should just do that rather than trying to piece them together from
constituent parts, where the former looks like:
host="service=foo sslmode=require",postgresql://bar.baz/mydb?sslmode=require,"host=quux.corge user=grault port=6433"
As far as I can tell, the only way a comma could sneak into these
strings is if it were in a database name or similarly bizarre spot, in
which case the usual quoting needed to handle it in general should
handle it here.
It's not clear to me that libpq is the correct place to add this
feature, as we have fairly large user bases--the JDBC world, for
example--that don't use it.
Cheers,
David.
