Well, as the transaction-pooling breaks application expectations
and makes impossible for them to do initial setup, the connect
hook could give a way to compensate for that.

To put it to core Postgres, it needs to be conceptually sane
first, without needing ugly workarounds to avoid it bringing
whole db down.
I can see ATM only few ways:
- Applies only to non-superusers.
- Error from CONNECT trigger does not affect superuser.
- Applies to database + role. Role could be also group of users.
So you always have way do fix things, without hexediting in data dir...
