I'm afraid that setting the role in the startup packet won't work. It's
only possible to change the role if the connection is in transaction
state (as far as I understand the GUC stuff in the backend code
correctly).

What's your opinion about the implementation?

Should the options be stored in a HashMap and the user be allowed to set
any key-/value-pair (no check if keys are allowed/mistyped, easy to use
new features) or should there be dedicated getter/setter (new features
have to be coded)?
