I've seen that
PostgreSQL Weekly News - July 25th 2003
Even though we are nearing release, it doesn't hurt to look
ahead, as
evidenced by several additions to the TODO list this week: delay
resolution of array expression type to assignment coercion can be
performed on empty array expressions, have AFTER triggers execute after
the appropriate SQL statement in a function, not at the end of the
function, more details on possible tablespace definitions were added,
add PL/PHP, allow PL/pgSQL to name columns by ordinal position (e.g.
rec.(3)), and prevent COMMENT ON DATABASE from using a database name.
Some of these already have folks working on them, however if you are
interested in lending a hand please don't be afraid to speak up.

Looks like this passage about AFTER triggers is what you're expecting,
but is not implemented yet.

No ideas, sorry. Maybe move over to the [HACKERS] list for more
professional support.
