If nothing else, anyone needing MERGE can port their MERGE statements to
a DML with DML-containing CTEs...
The generic mapping would be something like this, I think:
WITH
    rows AS (SELECT <target> FROM <target> WHERE <condition>)
  , updated AS (
    UPDATE <target>
    SET ...
    WHERE <key> IN (SELECT <key> FROM rows) /* matched */
    RETURNING <target>
  )
  , inserted AS (
    INSERT INTO <target>
    SELECT ...
    WHERE <key> NOT IN (SELECT <key> FROM rows) /* not matched */
    RETURNING <target>
  )
DELETE FROM <target>
WHERE (...) AND
  <key> NOT IN (SELECT <key> FROM updated UNION
                SELECT <key> FROM inserted);
