Sorry, that was too hasty. We already have that now in 9.0 and 9.1
(not sure when it was introduced)
create table a as select generate_series(1,10000) i;
create table b as select generate_series(1,10000) i;
alter table a add primary key (i);
alter table b add foreign key (i) references a (i) on delete cascade;
explain analyze delete from a;

Delete (cost=0.00..145.00 rows=10000 width=6) (actual

-> Seq Scan on a (cost=0.00..145.00 rows=10000 width=6) (actual

Notice the line "Trigger for constraint b_i_fkey"
