ISTM that the first requirement is for a sane API that will handle the
fact that HBA lines are ordered. Persistence in itself shouldn't be a
big problem - we already do that with some shared tables, iirc.
so we might have some functions like:
insert_hba_rule(at_position int, connection_type text, username text,
dbname text, cidr_host text, method text) move_hba_rule(from_position int, to_position int) delete_hba_rule(at_position
int)
Inventing new SQL syntax might make things a bit tougher.
