Another minor coding suggestion:

+ * Do this here since we need the user information and that only happens

+ * transaction down for an as safety conscious rejection as possible.
+ */
+ if (!superuser() && MyBackendId > MaxBackends - ReservedBackends)
+ elog(ERROR, "Normal user limit exceeded");
This would be more efficient if you placed the superuser() test after
the BackendId test, as it is both more expensive to evaluate and more
likely to be true.
Cheers,
