I added event trigger support to PL/sh, just for some additional
validation:

https://github.com/petere/plsh/tree/event-triggers

It seems pretty straightforward and useful, so I'm not sure where your
hesitation is coming from.

Based in this, I could add some documentation in the coming weeks.

I don't think we have time to add support for this to the in-tree PLs.
But I was thinking we should at least check all PLs out there that they
don't crash if they are presented with an event trigger function,
because if you code a PL like this:

if (CALLED_AS_TRIGGER(fcinfo) {
// it's a trigger
}
else {
// it's a normal call
}

there might be some trouble.
