You can do that now (and for many versions past) with a trigger.
It's not quite as convenient as it ought to be, but it's possible.
AFAIK there's no change in that situation for 7.1.

We've had parameterized triggers for years.  Maybe you attach some
meaning to that term beyond what I do?

There is some support (dating back to Berkeley Postquel) for functions
returning sets, but it's pretty ugly and limited.  Proper support might
happen in 7.2 ...
