Then we'd have to rename the symbol anytime we applied it to some new
auth scheme.  The original naming complaint reflected a concern that
the symbol looked like it was supplied by the system headers, rather
than being of Postgres origin.  Heikki's suggestion deals with that,
and I think it's fine as-is.
