Actually, none of my current examples and tests are relying on it. For
the trigger based replications Jan said he would need the full parse
tree rather than just the command string anyway, so we're not loosing
anything more that we already were ready to postpone.

Agreed, mostly.
From the code I already have I think we should still pass in the command
tag, the schema name (or null) and the object name (or null) as input
parameters to the trigger's procedure.
I'm now working on that and then the concurrency angle of the command
triggers.
