I'd definitely prefer not to do that. We have not really thought
through the implications. The original idea here was a quick-and-dirty,
easily ignored, optional feature to support per-database user name
assignment. Turning it into something more will require a lot of design
work that we haven't done, and IMHO don't have time for before 7.3.
BTW, I still prefer "user@dbname" to "dbname.user".
