One could imagine writing some parser that extracts all the variables and honors collisions in the same way libpq does (like when both the path and the query string specify a port), but I really don't want to recreate that.

Does something like this do what you're looking for?
postgres=# SELECT * FROM conninfo_parse('host=node1 user=foo');
keyword | value
---------+-------
user | foo
host | node1
(2 rows)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM conninfo_parse('postgresql://localhost:5433');
keyword | value
---------+-----------
host | localhost
port | 5433
(2 rows)
Basically a wrapper around PQconninfoParse(), I've had the code knocking around
for a while now and finally got round to packaging it into an
extension [1]. It's
on my todo list to submit a patch based on this to core, as it seems Generally
Useful To Have.
