In backend/commands/portalcmds.c we have
       /* FIXME: shouldn't this be an ERROR? */       ereport(WARNING,
(errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_CURSOR),               errmsg("portal \"%s\" does not exist", stmt->portalname)));
 

The effect of this is that you can fetch from an undefined cursor and
(successfully) get zero rows plus this warning.  I propose that we change
this to an error.  Does anyone see a reason against this, except possibly
bugward compatibility?
