MySQL already does this for INSERT :
INSERT INTO x (a,b) VALUES (1,2), (3,4), (5,6)...;
The above syntax is SQL-standard, so we ought to support it sometime,
performance benefits or no. I agree it might be tricky to avoid eating
an unreasonable amount of memory for a very long list in Postgres :-(
Supporting VALUES only in INSERT would be relatively trivial BTW,
but the spec actually thinks it should be allowed as a <table spec>
in FROM ...
Can we just start with the simple case?
