The patch appears unrelated to column-level triggers:
http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The attached patch adds the optional REFERENCES syntax in CREATE TRIGGER
statement to make an automatic alias for OLD/NEW record during trigger
setup. The implementation of this new feature makes CREATE TRIGGER
command more compatible to SQL standard, and allows the future
implementation of executing SQL commands in trigger action.
After the implementation, the extended syntax of statement is as
follows.
CREATE TRIGGER name BEFORE|AFTER
INSERT|DELETE|UPDATE [OR...] ON tablename
[REFERENCING OLD|NEW [AS] identifier]
[FOR [EACH] ROW|STATEMENT]
EXECUTE PROCEDURE funcname (arguments)
