Hah, good suggestion. Looking into how *it* is implemented (on 9.2 at least), brings us back to string manipulation of
theresult of pg_get_triggerdef():
\d+ information_schema.triggers
...
"substring"(pg_get_triggerdef(t.oid), "position"("substring"(pg_get_triggerdef(t.oid), 48), 'EXECUTE PROCEDURE'::text)
+47)::information_schema.character_data AS action_statement,
...
But at least we can turn a blind eye to its internal horror. Thanks!
