Nice clean patch, thanks!

Committed, after tinkering with the CommandCounterIncrement() stuff a bit.

I will respond to the rest of your email later.  Reading through this
patch left me with a slight concern regarding both ddl_command_start
and ddl_command_end: what happens if there's more than one event
trigger scheduled to fire, and one of them does something like drop
(with cascade) the function that a later one uses?  Admittedly, that
seems like an unlikely case, but we probably want to check that
nothing too awful happens (e.g. crashing the server) and maybe add a
regression test to cover this scenario.

Another thing is that we might want to document that if a command
errors out, ddl_command_end will never be reached; and perhaps also
that if ddl_command_start errors out, the command itself will never be
reached.  Perhaps this is so obvious as to not bear mentioning, I
don't know, but the thought crossed my mind that someone might fail to
realize it.
