Since this behavior is essential to the rule system, imho the actual
source
of problems is, that PostgreSQL does not have "real stored procedures"
==
functions that do not have a return value or set (C lingo: void
func_a(x)).

The usual view rule that needs enhanced processing intelligence would
then call a stored procedure and not a function.

The easy way out would be to write rules with instead actions, that
call insert/update/delete statemants directly. This often works
for the more common cases.
