Robert mentioned ClientRead/ClientWrite upthread. I still think that
SecureRead/SecureWrite is better as it respects the routine name where

WAL senders do show up since 8299471 because they are counted as in
max_connections. That's pretty cool combined with this patch.

I am sending a new patch to save 30s to the committer potentially
