It's fine if that's the conclusion.

Back in October, that seemed like one too many things misbehaving, which led me
to walk away from the patch and re-orient.

I was going re-check the behavior, but instead hit another bug:

CREATE TABLE p(i int) PARTITION BY RANGE(i);
CREATE TABLE p1 PARTITION OF p FOR VALUES FROM (1)TO(2);
CREATE FUNCTION foo() returns trigger LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$begin end$$;
CREATE TRIGGER x AFTER DELETE ON p1 EXECUTE FUNCTION foo();
CREATE TRIGGER x AFTER DELETE ON p EXECUTE FUNCTION foo();
\d p1

The tgenabled issue was a contributing factor which led us to stop using
inherited triggers, so I'm not very motivated to dig into it.
