Right; this is helpful for the regression tests, now that Peter has set
up pg_regress to set the application name, but I can't see trying to
push it on the rest of the world.

I suspect that simply having a nonempty default in the first place
is going to do more to raise peoples' awareness than anything we
could do in the documentation. But perhaps an example along these
lines would be useful for showing proper use of %q.
