I am passing the values returned from a CTE to a call to pg_notify(). I do
not care to collect the output of pg_notify(), which returns VOID.


it is little bit different issue - PL/pgSQL doesn't check if returned type
is VOID - it can be allowed, I am thinking. So check of empty result can be
enhanced.

That still doesn't help at all in the case where the function returns something, but you simply don't care about the result.

That said, I don't think this issue is big enough to start radically changing how SELECT without INTO works -- you can always get around this limitation by SELECTing into a variable, as David mentioned in his original message. It's annoying, but it works.
