sorry about that, I did this in 7.3. I didn't think to try it in 7.2 or 7.1.

In 7.3, triggers are stored in compiled format. prior to that they were executed as anonymous blocks and compiled at runtime. Apparently, in 7.3, the fact they were compiled when created made them appear as procedures in the call stack (as real named objects). In versions <7.3, they were anonymous blocks.

I ran this in 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. Sure enough, only 7.3 could figure out 'who' the trigger was. they others saw anonymous blocks.
