I would suggest bumping the CID after each WITH RETURNING query is
complete.
The order-of-execution issue is a good point, but is there a reason
not to do them in the order the WITH clauses appear syntactically?
One potentially interesting issue is if RETURNING withs are mixed
with plain-SELECT withs. If we stick with the current plan then
the plain-SELECTs would execute after the RETURNINGs, which would
make things apparently not syntax-order. An easy answer to that
one is to insist that all the RETURNING queries appear first.

Yeah, I think that's more or less the point ...
