No, that's not true: a trigger is a function and what it can see is
determined by the rules of the PL it's written in. Typically a
function that's marked STABLE or IMMUTABLE will see the same snapshot
as the calling query, but a function that's VOLATILE will take a new
snapshot for each query it contains.
