The recommended workaround is to use FOR ... IN EXECUTE to collect the
results of your EXECUTE'd select into a record variable. It may seem a
little weird to use a FOR loop that you always intend to execute exactly
once, but until someone figures out a reasonable implementation of INTO
in EXECUTE, it's the only way.
