I happen to think UPDATE RETURNING is one of the coolest things since sliced
bread, but that's because it saved my ass once in my last job.

I wonder whether the ui tools need anything more low level than that. In
general sticking their grubby fingers in the query the user entered seems
wrong and they would have to tack on a RETURNING clause. Though I can't really
see it failing in this particular instance.
