Sure, that sort of was my point :-)

Ok, good.  This is what people was aiming for initially, I hope.  What
do people think, particularly those who wanted to manage pg_hba.conf via
SQL commands?

Without looking at the surrounding code, I'm a bit wary of the fact that
in ReverifyMyDatabase, pg_database_aclcheck is called with GetUserId()
but the error message is emitted with the user_name that was passed as
parameter instead.  The inconsistency could prove painful in the future;
maybe it's OK, but if it is, you should declare it in the surrounding
comments.
