So it would appear.  I was replying to a comment by Simon which
sounded to me as though he didn't feel any further discussion was
needed.

Right, and judging from Simon's reply, we have no disagreement on
that.  Sorry for the confusion.
 
I still think that the ability to issue one request and get back a
series of responses, each of which could be the result of RAISE or a
SELECT, would be valuable, and would be the best way to implement
this; but of course it would be totally insane to try to burden
Simon's proposal with such a requirement.  I was hoping that someone
had something in the works, close to fruition, which could be set as
a prerequisite for Simon's feature -- so that it could be done in
the best possible manner.  The current alternatives of a separate
request for each related bit of information versus a bunch of text
lines makes me a bit queasy.  Formated text (XML, YAML, etc.) seems
worse than either of the above.
