How about this: Normally secondary password files look like
username:ABS5SGh1EL6bk
We could add the option of making them look like
username:+
which means "look into pg_shadow". That would be fully backward
compatible, allows the use of alter user with password, and avoids
creating any extra system tables (that would need to be dumped to plain
text). And the coding looks very simple.
