Yes, I updated the TODO:

    * Add the client IP address to pg_stat_activity

and while there is a client version that does your connection, it
doesn't work for other connections.

I think we should display all the info we show in ps -ef in
pg_stat_activity and the one piece we don't give currently is the client
address.
