What about it?  Are you suggesting we should support some way to specify
a service name in the URI?

If so, consider this: if you set up a pg_service.conf file, and then
pass around a URI that specifies a service, no one else can use the URI
until you also pass around the service file.

So, in that light, do we still think that letting the user specify a
service name in the URI makes sense?  (My personal opinion is yes).
