BTW, with some clever use of TG_RELNAME you could probably make that
function generic, so that you could use it with any table; ie:
NEW.id := nextval( TG_RELNAME || ''_id_seq'');
Same holds true for the update function. You might also want to
create a function that does all the legwork of defining the sequence
and triggers for you.
