Hm, I don't think it's impossible, just unpractical. Anyway, if you say
so yourself, I really doubt the use of GAPI. If you need to create your
own hooks anyway beside GAPI, why use GAPI at all? Better have one kind
of 'hooking' (i.e. with a dynamically loaded library).

So far, they are only partly usable for replication. I never looked into
materialized views or anything else that would benefit from such triggers.
