Description:
------------
Currently, pg_insert() returns a bool rather than a resource. Usually, insert queries return resources which can be passed to pg_last_oid() for pulling the OID of that insert statement's created row. However, nothing can really be done with the "true" return value given by pg_insert(), therefore making it not quite as useful a function as it could be.

OID was always available for old PostgreSQL, but OID can be omitted. 

It's possible to return OID when it's available otherwise return true.

I think twice if returning oid is good.
It may be useful for some applications, but it may not for recent usages. Recent 
postgresql apps omits OID often.

Therefore, I'll not change this behavior.

Returning resource makes sense. Assigned again.
