Hi team.
Latest time we faced several issues which wouldn't arise provided we have
possibility to use constants in foreign key constraints.
brief example where it would be helpful:

table_a
( id uuid,
parent_id uuid,
is_deleted boolean
)
having possibility of FK (parent_id, false) to (id, is_deleted)
would disallow setting parent record deleted flag to true if they have
children, or insert record with is_deleted = true parent.

Aliaksei.
