More to the point, they give the names of the automatically-created
objects. If the FK trigger creation notice included the names of the
triggers then it might have nonzero value. But I'm not sure that people
need to care anymore about the names of the triggers, since there's no
longer much reason to manipulate those triggers. Nowadays you'd
manipulate the FK constraint itself, instead.
I'm in favor of dropping it...
