    Yes.

    A smart ORM library should, when you create a new database object from
form values, use INSERT RETURNING to grab all the default values (SERIALs,
DEFAULTs, trigger-generated stuff etc). This is much more elegant than
digging to find the sequence name to currval() it !

    I think this feature is priceless (but it would be even better if I could
do INSERT INTO archive (DELETE FROM active WHERE blah RETURNING *)
