I don't think many people use anything other than the trivial
default case. currently use it to map foo/root to foo on tertius as a
default. At a small company I do consulting for in Texas, I use it to
get around deficiencies in how Postgres95 handles Kerberos V support.
(Postgres95 is a moderately useful free database.)
However I'm unsusual. I sometimes try to use features like
aname_to_localname just to make sure they work. One possible reason
few people use it is that it isn't documented in a very obvious place.
