That depends what your approach is for non-qualified tables as it would be
odd to do it differently for the two cases. (Just got your other email).
Since you don't like "RETURNING *", you will need to be able to parse a
fully qualified name, but you also must be able to parse and then qualify
a non-fully qualified name.

Not really, you can only specify the current database. If you try
it with something else you get:
jurka=# select * from jurka.schema.tab;
ERROR: schema "schema" does not exist
jurka=# select * from otherdb.schema.tab;
ERROR: cross-database references are not implemented:
"otherdb.schema.tab"
