    I see, because a user can specify this option through SQL only? Ok, then 
that logic makes sense to me.
    
    It's still kinda a coarse way to achieve a limit on concurrent connections. 
Some drivers let you configuring pooling in the driver string. That would cap 
connections globally, which is even better. Is that not an option? if it's 
readily available that's a much more direct solution.
    
    At least, we ought to document that this is a potentially expensive 
operation; it doesn't actually just limit connections.
