The main reason I went with environment variable is that it's the
path-of-least-code :-) And it easily fullfills my use-cases for it,
which has me launching interactive psql with completely different
settings from a script.

Do you have a use-case where --psqlrc would be more useful than an
environment variable, or is it *only* bike-shedding? ;)
