There was no hard push in favor of this comment so I did not insist,
but I am not wedded to the existing connection parameter names.

- {"sslminprotocolversion", "PGSSLMINPROTOCOLVERSION", NULL, NULL,
+ {"ssl_min_protocolversion", "PGSSLMINPROTOCOLVERSION", NULL, NULL,
Shouldn't that actually be "ssl_min_protocol_version" with one extra
underscore?

There are two in this case: PG_COLOR and PG_COLORS. For readability
it could make sense to use something like PG_SSL_MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION
or PGSSL_MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION, but like Daniel I'd rather keep the env
variables without underscores.
