I can't get too excited about this. CREATE RULE uses "table" as well,
and specifies that "table" really means "table or view". Similarly, the
INSERT syntax summary talks about "INSERT INTO table ...", although of
course you can insert into a view if the appropriate rule exists. A view
is a table in more ways than one...
