If it's documented I think it's well hidden ;-) ISTM that the fact that
we implement FK constraints via triggers is really an implementation

Probably not. ISTM that the scheme should turn tgisconstraint into a
multi-valued item (tgkind: 'u' = userland, 'c'= constraint, 'p' =
partition or some such).
