This is very crude:

- I can't imagine that changing a trigger affects any existing
  statement. It will have its own vdbe, and it doesn't change
  table schema. 

  Constraints need more thinking, but the idea is the same:
  not all schema changes are created equal.

- flushing entire cache on any such change is a huge inefficiency.
  It was not an issue before, but time has come to introduce
  per-object versioning, in addition to global versioning.

This is subject for future work.

So lgtm.
