I've made the following patch to the current CVS docs. This is to
explain some confusion I ran into when trying to use rules. After
reading the documentation on rules, I was expecting my rule to get run
at the end of a query where I deleted multiple rows, not after the first
row was deleted, then not any further.
I think the below text makes it more clear that this may happen and is
not a bug.

+ Note that rules are only invoked once per query. This may be a problem
+ in instances where the rule is updating a table based on another table's
+ contents, and you do a delete or update that changes multiple rows. In
+ this case, you will have to use a trigger.
