Quick enhancement request

How about adding a PREAPPEND procedure?

I want to do some security checking before I allow additions to a table.
When the screen has only an ENTRY procedure then the PREENTRY procedure
seems the correct place to do this. But when the screen has a CLUSTER and
therefore an APPEND procedure the user can bypass the PREENTRY procedure by
simply using Append.

And while you're in the code you might as well add PREDELETE for just the
same kinds of reasons.

I know I could modify the generated procedures but, since Matt has renewed
his interest in this list, I must resist the temptation :-)
