I believe this just falls out of the normal order of trigger firing  
as explained in the CREATE TRIGGER documentation (http:// 
www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-createtrigger.html)

It might be nice to add a similar phrase to the CREATE CONSTRAINT  
TRIGGER documentation, but as far as I know, the behavior is the same  
for triggers created by either method. The only difference is that  
constraint triggers are named by the system rather than by the user.

Thoughts?
