If the before action triggers insert, update, or delete data, the
before action triggers, constraints, and after action triggers for
those changes are executed as the changes are made. Constraints
are executed next in an arbitrary order. Finally, the after action
triggers are executed in the order specified.

spec attempts to define a constant state within an action and
eliminates many actions that Firebird allows.
