You could hackily repurpose the "application_name" connection parameter:
$ whoami
ibarwick
$ psql -d "host=localhost dbname=postgres user=postgres application_name=$USER"
psql (14devel)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# SELECT application_name FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE pid=pg_backend_pid();
application_name

effects resulting from this approach.
