hi all,

the automatic update for views is really a helpful feature, but i think it 
would be more useful with returning support.

currently we have to construct a rule/trigger to support queries like
'insert into simple_view returning pk'

is it possible (or desired) to implement something like an automatic returning 
support?
it would be great if i could simply write 'insert into simple_view returning 
col1' or 'insert into simple_view returning col2' and postgres would make the 
magic behind.

(a slightly changed text from the pg rules documentation)
The RETURNING logic of the automatic update feature would be used only if the 
automatic update is triggered by an INSERT RETURNING, UPDATE RETURNING, or 
DELETE RETURNING command respectively. When the automatic update is triggered 
by a command without RETURNING, the RETURNING logic will be ignored.

thanks

regards,
Attila
