Description:

At

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN

you can see

If multiple rows are returned, only the first will be assigned to the INTO
variable.

It will be useful to write information from (or a link to)

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/plpgsql-control-structures.html#AEN62513

about RETURN QUERY EXECUTE statement to return set of rows.

The former (returning a value into a internally defined variable) is
separate from the second (returning a value to outside ​the function).
While they do have some relation to each other - namely the former can be
used to set variables that are then externally returned - that seems
insufficient.

But, maybe I'm too familiar with this. Maybe a more detailed suggestion
would make the need more clear.

In any case this seems to be quite far from being a bug. There is a
pgsql-docs list where suggestions like this are better posted.
