What we recommend is to use log_pid and log_connections and link the pid
to each log message. The big issue is that while logging user/db/etc is
nice for grep, it can fill the logs pretty quickly.

Of course, the pid can wrap around, so it gets pretty confusing. I have
been wondering about logging pid as 1-3321 meaning the first loop
through the pid cycle, pid 3321 so they are always unique in the log
file.

My guess is that we need something flexible to say which things should
appear on each log line, if we go that direction.
