reallywant to have to "RETURNS TABLE" because that means I have to enumerate all the table columns.

You need to use RETURN NEXT:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foobar(foo text,bar text)
RETURNS SETOF bar
AS $$
DECLARE
v_row bar%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
insert into bar(f,b) values(foo,bar) returning * into v_row;
return next v_row;
END;
$$
language plpgsql;
But you don't need PL/pgSQL for this or store the result in a variable:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foobar(foo text,bar text)
RETURNS SETOF bar
AS $$
insert into bar(f,b) values(foo,bar)
returning *;
$$
language sql;
