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.
