This is a great feature!

Not exactly on point with this, but in a pretty closely related
context, is there some way we could give people the ability to declare
at their peril that a constraint is valid without incurring the full
scan that VALIDATE currently does? This is currently doable by
fiddling directly with the catalog, which operation is broadly more
dangerous and ill-advised.

Best,
David.
