Re: debugger from superuser only.... why?

Seems obvious to me that it'd be a nasty security hole, ie you could
take control of somebody else's session and make it do things you
don't have permissions for.  Even if there's a way to restrict
debugging connections to sessions owned by the same user, you'd
have a big problem with being able to change the behavior of
security-definer functions.  Clearly, the authors of pldebugger
decided that was a can of worms they didn't care to open.
