A while ago it was speculated that it might be nice to have a default service in libpq's pg_service.conf file that would supply missing connection parameters if none are specified elsewhere, so users could, say, set the default server host in a configuration file instead of environment variables.
The precendence would be like this: explicit specification, service (if explicitly specified), environment, (new: ) default service, compiled-in default (e.g., for port). (Or maybe the default service before the environment?) Comments?
