Sometimes it may be useful to launch psql without connecting to the
database. For example, a user may choose to start psql and then pipe
commands via stdin, one of which may eventually perform the \connect
command. Or the user may be interested in performing operations that
psql can perform, like setting variables etc., before optionally
initiating a connection.
Speaking for myself, but you do bring up a fairly interesting usecase.
Is this a feature you have found yourself wanting in the past?
