That's not on my TODO list for 9.4. My understanding about implementing
that is:

  - we agree that it would be nice to have,
  - it requires a separate *shared* catalog for event triggers.

What I'm yet unsure about is that there's a consensus that the use cases
are worthy of a new shared catalog in the system. Also I didn't look how
hard it is to actually provide for it.
