The SELECT equivalent of this query looks like this:
=> with recursive t as (select * from t) values(true);
ERROR: recursive query "t" does not have the form non-recursive-term
UNION [ALL] recursive-term
but I didn't want to throw people off to think that they can use
INSERT/UPDATE/RETURNING in a RECURSIVE CTE, just to get complaints about
syntax error.
