yeah, sure, I realized that just after sending my last post...
I resort to using both \conninfo *and* `select current_role`.
I used \conninfo to tell me which server I'm on (since not
on the default prompt, before I played with it today), which
session_user I'm connected with (ddevienne or dd_login
in my recent example), and finally `select current_role`
which matters in my use-cases (session_user or dd_admin or dd_user).

I'd like not to have to type those commands/queries all the time,
and have them in the prompt at all time. I get that it's not for everyone,
nor even necessary all the time, but I sincerely think it is definitely useful.

I'd be glad to use Pavel's proposed %N. --DD
