Hah, good suggestion. Looking into how *it* is implemented (on 9.2 at least), 
brings us back to string manipulation of the result of pg_get_triggerdef():

\d+ information_schema.triggers
...
"substring"(pg_get_triggerdef(t.oid), 
"position"("substring"(pg_get_triggerdef(t.oid), 48), 'EXECUTE 
PROCEDURE'::text) + 47)::information_schema.character_data AS action_statement,
...

But at least we can turn a blind eye to its internal horror. Thanks!
