Probably something you could bring up on:

I use tools that use libpq, but I do not use it directly so I do not
have a definitive answer. I do see this:

"Several libpq functions parse a user-specified string to obtain
connection parameters. There are two accepted formats for these strings:
plain keyword = value strings and RFC 3986 URIs."

at the head of the section(32.1.1. Connection Strings) from which you
quoted. What those functions are I have no idea.
