I did not imagine so. Rather, I thought that it was a matter of simply
introducing a way that foreign tables can have foreign constraints
recognizable by the local Postgres optimizer. The decision to insert
or update must belong to the foreign server, since the feature could
be useful for systems like MySQL, and not just Postgres. I may be
mistaken.
