"System username" may help from an internal development perspective,
especially as it relates to pg_ident.conf, but I don't think that's
likely to be a useful descriptor to an end user. (I don't think of a
client certificate's Subject Distinguished Name as a "system
username".) Does my attempt in v5 help?
