I presume you haven't read Tom Lane's proposal and discussion about
multiple column assignment in UPDATE:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1783.1399054541@sss.pgh.pa.us
(Assigning all columns was also discussed there)

And there's a WIP patch:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20930.1402931841@sss.pgh.pa.us

Thanks for the links, but this patch only targets SET(*) case, which, if I understand correctly, the patch you mentioned doesn't directly handle (If I understand correctly, the target of the two patches is different).
