So yeah, putting this into a view will not work. The WITH/CTE construct is
an optimization barrier so the WHERE clause that is going to be used cannot
be applied before the function call is performed - only afterwards.

As I said before LATERAL in 9.3 may help - though others will have to
comment - in cleaning up the syntax and multiple-calls.

For <= 9.2 you will have to either live with the slightly verbose syntax or
wrap what you need into user-defined functions.
