We have discussed changing the default names of FK constraints before.
I have no problem with doing something like the above --- any objection
out there?

(Of course, this is only a long-term fix for your original problem,
as it'll take a good long while for any such naming change to propagate
to Joe's-Corner-Bar's database.)
