Granting TRIGGER privilege already implies an exceedingly high trust
level, since a trigger can do arbitrary damage to your data. I don't
find this concern interesting, and your solution wouldn't work anyway
(AFAICS it would check the permissions of the user doing the UPDATE,
not those of the user who created the trigger).
