Hello pgsql-bugs,

Excuse my English. I'm from Russia.
I understood, that following is implementation behavior,
but this is really not what i'm expecting to see.

--Start test--
create table try1
(
        id serial PRIMARY KEY,    -- same with DEFAULT nextval('some_sequence')
        info varchar(30)
)
without oids;

create table handle_try1
(
        id_try1 int PRIMARY KEY,
        inf int NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
)
without oids;

create rule try1_insert as
    on insert to try1 do insert into handle_try1 (id_try1)
  values (new.id);

insert into try1(info) values ('hello');
insert into try1(id,info) values(3,'hell'); -- later one'll see the reason for id=3

select * from try1;
/*
returns
 id | info
----+-------
  1 | hello
  3 | hell
(2 rows)
*/
select * from handle_try1;
/*
returns
 id_try1 | inf
---------+-------
       2 |   0
       3 |   0
(2 rows)
but I really expected
 id_try1 | inf
---------+-------
       1 |   0
       3 |   0
(2 rows)
*/
-- Finish Test

Cause of this I ought to use trigger, what I really do not want to do.
And, i think, same behavior takes the place with other volatile function defaults.
