First post (unlurking) here, so just a minor contribution. I think that
there is already a LIMIT keyword, ala:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/queries-limit.html

Since this is more or less a privileges issue, would it be reasonable to
extend the GRANT/REVOKE style syntax (with a different keyword, of course)
to allow this parameter to be set, just for consistencies sake? This would
also allow the sysadmin to limit connections on groups as well, if
necessary.

I'm not sure how you would structure a GRANT/REVOKE style query to include
a numeric parameter so it doesn't look completely out of place, so it's just
an idea...
