In connection with fixing
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-12/msg00620.php
I decided to insert "Assert(ActiveSnapshotSet())" into pg_plan_query,
since any path reaching that function should already have provided
a snapshot. I was bemused to find that this resulted in an assert
failure in the regression tests, with backtrace

The problem here is that PortalRunUtility() intentionally does not set
a snapshot for ConstraintsSetStmt; so if SET CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE
results in any triggers getting fired, those triggers are run with
no snapshot available. Boo hiss.
The comment in PortalRunUtility asserts loudly that ConstraintsSetStmt
MUST NOT have a transaction snapshot set before it is executed, but
I confess that I don't see why not at the moment. We certainly can't
have it not set a snap if it has any triggers to fire. Comments?
