I would appreciate CREATE ASSERTION statements too. This would be a more genric tool than putting this into a FOREIGN KEY constraint. Not all the rules you might want to enforce involve a foreign key. Also this would be according to the SQL standard.

To allow subqueries (also from diff. tables) in CHECK constraints would also be interesting.
