Hi,

As discussed in #8870, the docs make unfounded claims on INTO.  Here's a 
patch removing the incorrect part.

!      If a row or a variable list is used as target, the query's result columns
!      must exactly match the structure of the target as to number and data
!      types, or else a run-time error
!      occurs.  When a record variable is the target, it automatically
       configures itself to the row type of the query result columns.
      </para>
