The definition of information_schema.triggers contains this:
"""   FROM pg_namespace n, pg_class c, pg_trigger t,        -- hard-wired refs to TRIGGER_TYPE_INSERT,
TRIGGER_TYPE_DELETE,       -- TRIGGER_TYPE_UPDATE; we intentionally omit TRIGGER_TYPE_TRUNCATE        (VALUES (4,
'INSERT'),               (8, 'DELETE'),                (16, 'UPDATE')) AS em (num, text) 
"""

so it seems that we are not showing TRUNCATE triggers intentionally,
but that comment fails to explain why
