I firmly feel friendly error messages like this firmly beong into the
application and not into the DB.  Next thing you'll want translated messages
as well, and your triggers become so complex that you don't wnat to maintain
them ...

With triggers.  A question to the experts: Couldn't this, in theory, be
implememnted within the rules system?  From what I understand they are run
right after the query is parsed; I'd expect data validation to come a bit
later.  Not sure if this is right.
