The consensus was reached to use CHECK constraints instead of new type
of constrains.
Alvaro made attempt[1] to write PoC in 2012 but it failed to apply on
top of master (and after solving conflicts led to core dumps) in Jan
2016.

I just rebased Alvaro's one to understand how he wanted to solve issue
and to run tests and queries. After all I sent rebased working patch
for anyone who wants to read it and try it without core dumps.

I have not published my patch for NOT NULLs yet.

Alvaro, the correct path[2] in the second message[3] of the thread.
What's wrong in it (I got the source in the previous[1] thread)?
