It currently runs the trigger once per row in the referencing table.
Doing a single select with not exists will almost certainly be faster, but
that's waiting for someone else to decide to do it or me to get time to do
it. :)

Some form of check is required, AFAIK however, because if the constraint
isn't satisified at the end of the alter table an error should be thrown.
