I am thinking, so I propose a enough solution for you - when you use CTE
for execution of VOID function, then result vill be VOID set, what we can
accept as undefined result, and in this case a PERFORM should not be
required. If CTE will return some result, then PERFORM should be required
and PERFORM must to support CTE in all possible modes - updateable or not
updateable queries.
