Attached is a revised version of Joachim's patch that implements this.
Cursors created via SPI are part of the view, which produces somewhat
unexpected results when querying the view from a procedural language as
noted above, but I suppose it's the best compromise.
The documentation still needs some work. Barring any objections, I'll
fix that and a few other minor issues and then apply the patch tomorrow.
