+    The authenticated identity is an immutable identifier for the user
+    presented during the connection handshake; the exact format depends on
+    the authentication method in use. (For example, when using the
+    <literal>scram-sha-256</literal> auth method, the authenticated identity
+    is simply the username. When using the <literal>cert</literal> auth
+    method, the authenticated identity is the Distinguished Name of the
+    client certificate.) Even for auth methods which use the username as
+    the authenticated identity, this function differs from
+    <literal>session_user</literal> in that its return value cannot be
+    changed after login.

That looks enough seen from here.  Thanks!

Nit: "auth method" would be a first in the documentation, so this had
better be "authentication method".  (No need to send an updated patch
just for that).

So, any comments and/or opinions from others?
