This does, however, break if someone tries to insert more than one row
at a time.
INSERT INTO studentinfo (...) VALUES (...), (...);
produces
ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint.
I expect that what happens is that first all the inserts into person
happen, then all the inserts into student happen, and all the latter
ones try to use the same currval.
