I think it would be good to expand the level of support we have for this.

Obviously, one (and currently used approach on fyodor) is just having
one user, USERNAME@<host>, having all privileges on the database.
But it should be possible for users to create more usernames (such
as USERNAME[_suffix]) to have finer-grained control over the
connections their various programs are performing to the database).

I do not currently have an idea how to implement this, and anyway I 
think it is more of a domtool2-logic issue than anything else?
