I occasionally find it useful for situations where I have a .pgpass
entry which would normally cover a database, but I have temporarily
changed the password to prevent conflicting usage during maintenance
or testing.  (For example, while "borrowing" a machine which is
normally part of the production load for a series of benchmarks
under the beta release.)
 
There would be other ways to deal with it if this were gone, but
it is convenient.
