Actually I think the proper behavior here is to raise an error. We
forbid setting the application-time column when using FOR PORTION OF
(per the standard), so why should we allow a BEFORE trigger to set it?
I think it has the same inconsistency problems. We could support it,
but then why not support both?

Assuming we want to raise an error, I think the best way is to check
the tuple in ExecForPortionOfLeftovers to see if a trigger has
modified it, and in that case raise an error. What do you think?

Yours,
