The fine manual says that using "=" in a connection name might be unwise
because of the risk of confusion. It doesn't say that you should expect
to get a NOTICE every single time you use the name. People have
complained of postmaster log bloat for lots less reason than this.
In any case I don't see an argument why warning on connection creation
isn't sufficient.
