This is quite a different thing though.  You were talking about idle
connections; the TODO item is about idle-in-transaction connections.
(Also, keep in mind that something being in the TODO list does not mean
anyone is planning to work on it.)

 
Oh, I see.  Yes, that is different.  In which case, I'd still like to see such a feature implemented as I imagine it could be useful for auto-killing connections not being used that are continuously taking some of the resources.
