Too late if someone wants to store it.
I wanna store the intented original values, thats why i use AFTER trigger.
But i would like to alter what a final AFTER trigger would see.

I'll elabarote a little.

An update happens.
The row is stored.
An after trigger is fired that alters some NEW columns
(nullifies them), aiming for a subsequent trigger
to see the altered results .

It should be something like a pointer to a HeapTuple, (right?),
so that would be feasible i suppose.

I would not even make a post if it was something that trivial.

I hope you get my point.
