I've tried this before, and unfortunately I think that statement is
currently true. I dug in to it one day and it didn't look too easy to
fix either (no big surprise there, otherwise someone probably would have
already fixed it ;-))

I ended up concluding that, short of a patch to the backend, a C code
trigger would be needed. You might be able to do something with pltcl or
one of the other PLs though.
