In looking at the "peer patch", I notice that initdb still supports things like "-A ident map=foo", but it *only* supports this for ident, and nothing else. I'm pretty sure this is a leftover from the "ident sameuser" days, so that things like the RPM install could set it properly. Since this is not needed any more, I propose we take that out and make ident work the same way as any other authentication methods.
At some point we might want to extend initdb to support any parameters (with validation, of course), but that's a much bigger thing. Just removing the (undocumented, btw) special case would make things more consistent.
