The issue is that the server has no clue what the application is
beyond what the client sends over the wire, so the server must trust
the client to tell it something useful.  There is a lot of code out
there which doesn't set this (so far nonexistent) connection property,
and I'm sure that breaking all of that code is not an option.  Hence,
if we add it, it will be optional.

This would probably show up in pg_stat_activity somewhere.

I'll suggest this be added.
