INSERT to partitioned table doesn't return row count

Is it possible to return the number of rows inserted to a partitioned
table set up as per the examples on
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/ddl-partitioning.html, in
the same way as if you inserted directly into a target table?

I can sort of see why it returns 0, because 0 rows are actually inserted
in the parent table, but I'd prefer not to have to make all the code
around this use case partition-aware;  most of it isn't mine.

I tried modifying the last RETURN line in the trigger function but
couldn't find anything that was even valid syntax.
