I think Jan muttered something about emitting a warning notice for an
attempt to store into a table that has an ON SELECT DO INSTEAD rule but
no ON INSERT rule --- which would imply that you'll never be able to
see the data you're inserting.

This mistake has bitten enough people (including me ;-)) that it seems
a warning might be a good idea.  I'm not sure if I want it to be a hard
error though.  Are there any cases where it'd make sense to allow this?
