Yeah.  This is a documentation issue that's bothered me for awhile.
The problem is that we treat the PL languages as add-ons and therefore
the documentation of the "core" system shouldn't rely on them ... but
that leaves us presenting C-code triggers as the only examples in
chapter 35.  There is a paragraph in there suggesting you go look at
the PL languages first, but obviously it's not getting the job done.

Anybody have a better idea?
