I haven't really thought about this as I had been asked to make this 
work as an additional option to the connection parameters...
Now that I've looked at it - there is really only the benefit of saving 
the step of setting the PGPASSFILE environment variable.
However, there might be cases in which setting an environment variable 
might not be the easiest option.
