Currently, the way to do this would be something like:
DECLARE _ok bool;
BEGIN
UPDATE foo .. RETURNING TRUE INTO STRICT _ok;
We have a lot of code like this, and I bet others do as well.

It will, which probably is not ideal if it can be avoided. I also
considered syntax like INTO STRICT NULL, but that felt a bit ugly. It
would be great if someone had any smart ideas about the syntax.
