Ah, thanks for that summary. How do they compare to triggers dynamically
EXECUTEing the inserts? Is that a better solution, or should one really
just use the IF ... ELSIF ... ELSIF ... ELSE pattern as suggested in the
new docs? (Which means one has to re-create the complete trigger each
time a partition is added.)
