I think this is a completely flawed proposal "by definition". SQL itself
does not make such assumption and as a SET oriented language, never
should. A SET is zero or more tuples. Would you also suggest that the
PostgreSQL backend throw an ERROR if an UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE doesn't
modify exactly 1 row? If not, explain why there should be a difference
between SQL executed from the frontend and SQL executed by a PL/pgSQL
function.

-1 from me.

I suggest being slightly more selective on that one.
