Agreed, his concern is legitimate. Now, I've never been trying to implement a generic event trigger system and I don't know what it would take to implement such a beast. Transaction BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK triggers anyone? not me :) Exploring if my proposal would be a pain to maintain once we have a fully generic event trigger system someday is legitimate, asking me to design both the generic event system and the command triggers so that they fit in is just asking for too much. The main part of my answer, though, is that all the more complex use cases involving command triggers that Robert is offering are in fact possible to implement with what my patch is providing, as soon as you're ok with understanding the content and format of the nodeToString() output.
