The username prefix trick is cool and all, but wouldn't it be even more cool if you could externally manage database access through something like LDAP or whatever you like, and have the tool delegate all authorization here?

This should be opt-in to have the tool work by default.

Consider using a unix socket for the external executable, to not spin up a new instance for every single connection. We can provide a template for a python daemon with a single handler function. The template can use both systemd sockets and workers in the main loop, as well as regularly notifying stats in status message to the notify socket
