Perhaps, but I don't know of anyone working on it.

IIRC, the row-level-only restriction dates from before we had
implemented transition tables, so that at the time there was
nothing very meaningful that a statement-level trigger could do.
Maybe that problem has gone away, though I've not thought
about it very hard.
