Well.  It's not exactly meant to be a user facing feature, but check out
CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER.

Thanks, Stephan!

I read the disclaimer "It is not intended for general use" but am curious as to why it isn't a user-facing feature? Is it a function of just exposing a cleaner SQL interface, or is it a function of the trigger queue having been written after user-defined triggers, or is there some philosophical argument against allowing user-definable triggers to be deferred?

At any rate, it looks like precisely what I need.

Thanks!
