Fair point.  Now, replacing a special character applies to more than
"options", because it can be used for any values.  For example:
postgresql:///mydb?host=localhost&application_name=hoge%20%3D%20foo
(This generates "hoge = foo" as application_name as you can guess.)

And the part of the docs for connection URIs describes only how to
percent-encode a path.
