We don't have a whole lot of freedom in this; this area is covered by the
SQL standard.  The major premise in the standard's point of view is that
views are supposed to be transparent.  That is, if

    SELECT * FROM my_view WHERE condition;

return N rows, then a subsequently executed

    UPDATE my_view SET ... WHERE condition;

returns an update count of N, no matter what happens behind the scenes.  I
don't think this matches Tom Lane's view exactly, but it's a lot closer
than your proposal.
