I believe this just falls out of the normal order of trigger firing
as explained in the CREATE TRIGGER documentation (http://
www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-createtrigger.html)

It might be nice to add a similar phrase to the CREATE CONSTRAINT
TRIGGER documentation, but as far as I know, the behavior is the same
for triggers created by either method. The only difference is that
constraint triggers are named by the system rather than by the user.
Thoughts?
