the approach in the attached patch offers a different user-owned cluster
*per instantiated template*.
This keeps the data for each invoked database localized, within that
named directory in ~/.config/foo.
Another approach would be to have a single
/usr/lib/systemd/user/postgresql.service that runs a single cluster
(under ~/.config/postgresql/ perhaps?), and to have some separate
templated unit that would create a database in that cluster.
This makes the per-application backup story slightly more complicated,
but it's still not too bad.
If that approach sounds like something you'd be more likely to accept,
i'm happy to send a patch implementing it.
let me know if you have any suggestions, criticisms, or feedback!
