Why would you bother with a cursor, and not just INSERT ... SELECT

I wouldn't. The context - and the reason it's mostly a matter of
curiosity, not something I care about - is that it arose out of
discussion elsewhere on how to work with pre-defined PL/PgSQL functions
that return multiple refcursors.
