I've been using textin(record_out(NEW)) in generic partitioning
triggers, and you can find examples of that trick in the wiki, so I
think we have users of that in the field.

Please indeed do consider backpatching!

I don't have an opinion on the opportunity to use a shorter memory
context, I feel that would need some more involved analytics than my
brainpower of the moment allows me to consider.

Thanks,
