The major downside is that somewhere between 9000 and 10000 VALUES-targetlists produces "ERROR: stack depth limit exceeded". Perhaps for the typical use-case this is sufficient though.I'm open to better ideas, comments, objections...
If the use case is people running MySQL dumps, then there will be millions of values-targetlists in MySQL dumps.
