If not, standard things like "psql -l" won't work for lowen@pari.  I don't
think we can get away with a scheme that depends on disallowing access
to template1 for most people.

It should also be noted that the whole point of this little project was
to do something *simple* ... checking access to some other database to
decide what we will allow is getting a bit far afield from simple.
