Won't it be better if we distinguish between "default" and "current"
value of a parameter with '-' (for the "current") and '+' (for the
"default") characters? For example:
\c + - hst
Connect to "default" database with "current" user on host hst.
(Omitted values can be treated as "current".)
\c + + hst -
Connect to "default" database with "default" user on host hst on
"current" port.
So we'll still have chance to get back to the libpq defaults.
Regards.
