This is really great!  Kudos to all who made this happen :)

I tried a bunch of different queries, and so far, only these two
haven't worked.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

WITH RECURSIVE t(n) AS (
    SELECT 1
UNION ALL
    SELECT n+1
    FROM t
    WHERE n < 100
)
SELECT * FROM t;
ERROR:  cannot extract attribute from empty tuple slot

WITH RECURSIVE t(n) AS (
    VALUES (1)
UNION ALL
    SELECT n+1
    FROM t
    WHERE n < 100
)
SELECT * FROM t;
ERROR:  cannot extract attribute from empty tuple slot

Cheers,
David.
