I did some detailed testing on Db2, Oracle, and MariaDB (the three
existing implementations of this feature that I'm tracking), and none of
them fire any row or statement triggers when the respective statement to
alter the generation expression is run.  So I'm withdrawing my comment
that this should fire triggers.  (I suppose event triggers are available
if anyone really needs the functionality.)
