I see no show stoppers, only for you to look at ways of specifying that
this optimization is possible for particular cases. I think we might be
able to make the general statement that it will work for all after
triggers that execute STABLE or IMMUTABLE functions. I don't think we
can assume that firing order is irrelevant for some cases, e.g. message
queues.
