AFAIK no one is looking at it presently (although Stephan Szabo has
probably thought about it). If you want to tackle it, step right up,
but coordinate with Stephan.

I was just in the vicinity of ALTER TABLE, and noted that that routine
didn't have the same loop-over-children superstructure that most of the
other ALTER code does. Should be a relatively simple matter to graft
that logic onto it, unless there are semantic funnies that come up with
propagating the new constraint.
