I am not sure that the 'rows' member is the right place for it, even if 
it were returned. For one thing, it should always be an arrayref, but 
overloading the first row like this is ugly.

Maybe 'returned_value' or some such would be better, e.g. $foo_id = 
$result->{returned_value}->{foo_id}

(We can't just stash it in the result hash with the used name in case 
somebody overrides the preexisiting members)
