I think this is a valid argument that this is part of SQL standard so
it would be good addition to PostgreSQL.  So +1 for the feature.

But I am wondering whether there are some real-world use cases for
deferred CHECK/NOT NULL constraints?  I mean like for foreign key
constraints if there is a cyclic dependency between two tables then
deferring the constraint is the simplest way to insert without error.
