Why? For a constraint, it's not obvious what this would do for you that
dropping and re-adding the constraint wouldn't do. In the places where
we support CREATE OR REPLACE, it's because it's important to maintain
continuity of the object's identity, but I don't see any need for that
with respect to check constraints.

BTW, getting something put on the todo list doesn't mean anyone's going
to step up to the plate and do it ...
