I think that this would be inconsistent with the rest, as that's a URI
and all the other examples are there.  I agree with the feeling of
Alvaro upthread that we could do a better effort with the handling of
the examples in this section, but it is quite unclear to me if that
would actually bring more clarity to the whole, and that's not really
the job of this patch.

Good point.  Using "mydb" or "user" instead of "postgres" in the new
example would be less confusing.  Another question, would be it better
to use "5433" instead of "5432" for the port number.  That's a nit,
but as we are on that stuff let's be right..
