PostgreSQL:incremento automático baseado em restrição única de várias colunas

Seria bom se o PostgreSQL suportasse o incremento "em uma coluna secundária em um índice de várias colunas" como as tabelas MyISAM do MySQL

CREATE TYPE animal_grp AS ENUM ('fish','mammal','bird');

CREATE TABLE animals (
    grp animal_grp NOT NULL,
    id INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    name varchar NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (grp,id)
);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION animals_id_auto()
    RETURNS trigger AS $$
DECLARE
    _rel_id constant int := 'animals'::regclass::int;
    _grp_id int;
BEGIN
    _grp_id = array_length(enum_range(NULL, NEW.grp), 1);

    -- Obtain an advisory lock on this table/group.
    PERFORM pg_advisory_lock(_rel_id, _grp_id);

    SELECT  COALESCE(MAX(id) + 1, 1)
    INTO    NEW.id
    FROM    animals
    WHERE   grp = NEW.grp;

    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STRICT;

CREATE TRIGGER animals_id_auto
    BEFORE INSERT ON animals
    FOR EACH ROW WHEN (NEW.id = 0)
    EXECUTE PROCEDURE animals_id_auto();

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION animals_id_auto_unlock()
    RETURNS trigger AS $$
DECLARE
    _rel_id constant int := 'animals'::regclass::int;
    _grp_id int;
BEGIN
    _grp_id = array_length(enum_range(NULL, NEW.grp), 1);

    -- Release the lock.
    PERFORM pg_advisory_unlock(_rel_id, _grp_id);

    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STRICT;

CREATE TRIGGER animals_id_auto_unlock
    AFTER INSERT ON animals
    FOR EACH ROW
    EXECUTE PROCEDURE animals_id_auto_unlock();

INSERT INTO animals (grp,name) VALUES
    ('mammal','dog'),('mammal','cat'),
    ('bird','penguin'),('fish','lax'),('mammal','whale'),
    ('bird','ostrich');
