Default Exactly what is DEFERRABLE

I noticed from the 8.3 manual (CREATE TABLE section):

NOT DEFERRABLE
.... Only foreign key constraints currently accept this clause. All other constraint types are not deferrable.

Does this imply that custom CONSTRAINT TRIGGERs are not DEFERRABLE? Or are they?

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Sorry dumb question. They must be deferrable since their create statement allows for differable.
