Sure, but let's distinguish between "here's an ugly workaround"
and "it just works". Aside from being tedious, the refcursor
approach is restrictive: I don't think you can readily make
a refcursor on the result of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING,
nor on utility statements such as EXPLAIN. (There might be
a way around the former restriction with WITH, but I'm
certain that won't work for EXPLAIN.)
