I don't mind the current setup, but would like it to not dump me out
if I don't have a database named `roland'.  I tend to give my
databases a name that pertains to what they contain, not who uses
them.

Still, having it attempt to connect to `roland' and then leave me at
the psql prompt with a message like "You are not connected to any
database" would be more friendly....
