Is there a way to use ENV variables for DSNs in the config file? #787

Description

I would like to check in my pgclirc file, but do NOT want to keep sensitive DB URLs in the file.

Wondering if there's a way to support something like

[alias-dsn]
mydb = $MYDBURL

as opposed to having the actual URL in the config file.

We're using configobj module to parse config files, and it looks like it has no support for env variables. There's a feature request open, but I don't see it attempted:
