No, because the problem is mainly about what might happen if
user-defined functions choose to look at the target tables.  We can't
really tell what triggers are going to do, to take one item that the
planner has no access to.

I think we have to decide up front which implementation behavior
it's going to be, and if we go with serialized queries, we'll be
stuck with that.
