"Attributes" works better IMO. The manual refers to INHERIT and LOGIN
as "attributes" rather than "privileges", so I would go for
"attributes" regardless of where we place connection limit.
Leaving connection limit in a separate column would be okay, but if
most installations seldom use connection limit (and I suspect this is
true), that's a chunky amount of underutilised space in the \du
output.
