Of course.  I was thinking using "auth" for something that's common to pg_hba
and pg_ident (like e.g. TokenizeAuthFile()), and otherwise keep the current
hba/ident prefix.

Unless someone object or suggest better naming in the next few days I will take
care of that.

I would also welcome some opinion on the points I mentioned about 0002.
