Hmm. But, that means that if some other object manages to depend on
an event trigger, and you drop the event trigger with CASCADE taking
the other object with it, then some other event trigger being used
for, say, replication might fail to see the drop. Right now that's
not possible but it seems potentially fragile. Not that I have a
great idea.
