IF there was such a method (I don't think there is), to reenable the
constraints would require going through every single row of every single
table and verify the constraints are valid prior to enabling them.
this would require global locks on each table so they didn't get updated
between the time said validation starts and when the constraint is
actually enabled to prevent any possibility of inconsistency from
creeping in.
