In this case, the WIP designation is meant to convey "warning: only
casual testing has beeen done". I tried it out with various
permutations of pg_hba.conf, and it worked as advertised in those
tests, but I have not made any attempt to formulate a more rigorous
testing regimen.

In particular I haven't tested that the more exotic authentication
methods still work properly, and I can't recall whether I tested
recursive file inclusion and group membership.

Is that a wrongful use of the WIP designation?

Cheers,
BJ
