This fails if you never call nextval() for this sequence within this
session.

You don't need a TRIGGER. Just define your table with (a serial, ...)
and omit the column a if you INSERT a new row.
> I was surprised having different values of currval() in ttt.a
If you call nextval() befor the insert, then returns the currval(), for
instance, 5. If you call your insert with the TRIGGER like above, the
currval() returns this value 5, but your trigger fires and increase the
value. And, maybe, an other process has increased the sequence also.
Conclusion, don't call nextval() within a TRIGGER, and insert either
nextval() for the column or omit this column.
