I think this is maybe conflating the application-level behavior with
the protocol-level behavior. A client certificate is requested by the
server if ssl_ca_file is set, whether clientcert is set in the HBA or
not. It's this disconnect between the intuitive behavior and the
actual behavior that I'd like to eventually improve.
