Yeah. I can't see that anyone will care about another few bytes in
single-row cases --- the other per-query overheads will swamp this one.
The only cases we've ever heard complaints about are this-query-updated-
umpteen-zillion rows cases, and they were always umpteen zillion cases
of the same trigger.
