(on pgjdbc/src/main/java/org/postgresql/core/v3/ConnectionFactoryImpl.java)

I have log monitoring tools that track which applications are connecting and when.  It might be possible to parse this out of subsequent statements but it wouldn't be simple.  I know some common tools, like pgBadger, do the same thing.  Without this being set at startup all new connections report as "unknown".
