 Add auditing support to a table.
 
 Arguments:
    target_table:     Table name, schema qualified if not on search_path
    audit_rows:       Record each row change, or only audit at a statement level
    audit_query_text: Record the text of the client query that triggered the audit event?
+   audit_inserts:    Audit insert statements or only updates/deletes/truncates?
    ignored_cols:     Columns to exclude from update diffs, ignore updates that change only ignored cols.
