Need to include the length of trigger names

I was just looking at the Developer Docs for the "CREATE CONSTRAINT
TRIGGER" command in the SQL Commands reference section. Noticed it
doesn't include a mention of the maximum length of the trigger "name"
field (31 characters). I reckon this should be mentioned,

It's the same as every other name. Do you want us to repeat the whole
of
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-syntax.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS
in every CREATE command's reference page? I don't think that'd be
an improvement.

No need for overkill. Its just nice to mention the maximum length of
the name in the reference page for the commands. :)
