It would probably be cleaner to have two keys-are-equal check routines
than to contort RI_FKey_keyequal_upd to work this way.

You seem to have also done a fair amount of unrelated hacking around.
What's the point of removing the distinction between check_ins and
check_upd functions? I think that may confuse existing client code
that looks at the triggers, without really buying much. A possibly
stronger argument is that if we find down the road that we need
separate functions again, we'll be in a bit of a sticky place; at
least if we need it to fix a bug without forcing initdb.

That's discomforting --- you had better find out exactly why that
changed.
