Actually, that raises a very good question:

If I have a defined sequence 'universal_sq', and I want to
insert rows into a table using 'universal_sq', is there any
reason *not* to use the DEFAULT NEXTVAL('universal_sq')
declaration in the table definition?

For example, if I want to locate the NEXTVAL. do a bunch of
stuff, and then insert the record, does this obligate me to
take the DEFAULT NEXTVAL out of the table and do it the
NEXTVAL insertion in my functions, or is it irrelevant?
