Not at all.  CASCADE would drop the foreign key constraint (including
the triggers that implement it), but not the other table.  In my mind
the issue is whether RESTRICT mode should do the same, or report an
error.

I'm not eager to accept the idea that DROP-without-either-option should
behave in some intermediate fashion.  I want it to be the same as
RESTRICT.
