That sort of annotation was my first thought, but we'd have to repeat
ourselves in multiple places because there are several views that are
affected by the constraint-name issue.  (Come to think of it, isn't
triggered_update_columns also affected by the trigger-name issue?)

Is that the direction we want to go, or would it be better to factor
the information out into a separate page about compatibility gotchas?
