You're right, I was confusing the database-column feature with what's
involved here. There isn't really any way for "sameuser" to work in the
user column, since that would require a way to identify the user's
non-database username, which is exactly the province of the auth method.
So never mind :-(.
But I still question whether Jeroen's got any real use case that can't
be handled the other way, viz
local webapp,etc all ident sameuser
