Are you proposing an on-logon hook or an on-connect trigger? It is two
separate things. The former can't solve some tasks (e.g. execute whatever pl
code) and the latter can't be implemented with a simple hook (you will have to
propose a syntax and offer some machinery to execute the pl code).

Of course, if you want to propose any of these ideas, keep in mind that a
symmetric functionality (e.g. on-logoff hook or on-disconnect trigger)  should
be implemented too.
