Hi,
Please find attached v13 of the command trigger patch, fixing most of
known items and rebased against master. Two important items remain to be
done, but I figured I should keep you posted in the meantime.

I reworked ALTER COMMAND TRIGGER and DROP COMMAND TRIGGER in the
attached, and the catalog too so that the command trigger's name is now
unique there. I added separate index on the command name.

I did M-x sort-lines in the documentation. Still have to add entries
for the new catalog though.
>> test=# CREATE TABLE badname (id int, a int, b text);
>> ERROR: invalid relation name: badname
>> test=# CREATE TABLE badname AS SELECT 1::int id, 1::int a, ''::text b;

I think Andres should add an entry for his patch on the commitfest. Is
it ok?

To be done in next patch's version, sorry about that.

That too will need to wait for the next revision, it's just about
finding enough cycles, which is definitely happening very soon.
