I initially thought of this, but discounted it because if the original
insert query tried to set person_id directly (instead of getting it from
the default sequence) the supplied value would have to be discarded.  I
have any plans to do anything of the sort, though, and I suppose the user
has little right to expect to be able to do such a thing safely anyway.
So perhaps this is the simplest solution; thanks.
