Had it been on the SET CONSTRAINT page, it would have saved me several
hours of debugging. I found the entry only after tracking down the
problem and creating a simple test case to demonstrate it.
We document other bugs on this page, e.g.:
Currently, only foreign key constraints are affected by this
setting. Check and unique constraints are always effectively
initially immediate not deferrable.
So why not document this one as well?

My big question is, should we expect that anybody reading the
documentation also has to go through the TODO list to see if there are
bugs on the list not mentioned in the manual?
