Are there likely to be enough entries that storage efficiency actually
matters? If not, we could use a 2xN array of {key,allowed_value} pairs,
that is
{{thingy,item1},{thingy,item2},{otherthingy,foo},{otherthingy,bar}}
Or perhaps push these out into a separate table, along the lines
of
oid key allowed_value
and use an oidvector to list the selected values in a trigger entry?
