Yes. We've accepted several extremely questionable (not to mention
poorly documented or completely undocumented) "features" in there
recently. If I'd been paying more attention I would've voted against
both the URL patch and the SERVICE patch, as I think they're both
less than fully baked --- and I don't see word one about either in
the libpq SGML documentation.
Someone should probably review the history and either fix or remove
the more dubious patches, before we get stuck having to be
backwards-compatible with bad ideas.
regards, tom lane
