This sounds an awful lot like it would have to scan through the list of 
existing connections, which I wanted to avoid.

Or maybe we could maintain a separate list of "reserved" connections, 
i.e. ones that were created when we were at max_connections - 
ReservedBackends?  We could quickly look through that list to see how 
many of which we have allowed.  Not sure if that's practical, though.
