Just a quick thought

While this is a fine piece of programming and probably works very well
for those who use it;  when I see something like this I can't help but
feel something is very lacking in these arena of functions returning
sets of data in PostgreSQL.  I can't see how being able to return open
cursors from PL/PGsql functions is going to help much, either..
