Thanks. I'd never seem a nested-for-loop with recursive calls of a
function, returning rows.
Interesting mix of SQL and procedural / imperative code to generate a
view-like output.
Not quite what I was looking for though. But thank you for sharing. Very
instructional. --DD

PS: I'll try to work out the SQL myself then, and if I get stuck, I'll ask
a more actionable question with where I'm at so far.
