Chapter 13 of the documentation on Rules versus Triggers says in part

"On the other hand a trigger that is fired on INSERT on a view can do the same as a rule, put the data somewhere else
andsuppress the insert in the view." 

However, it does not appear to be possible to set a trigger on a view, so this means something else. (I'd like to set a
triggeron a view, because the replacement INSERT I wish to make is easier to write in PLPGSQL than plain SQL.)
