Weak cursors have one weak point: there is no way to describe them
(at least, not in PL/SQL), so you have to know the cursor's %rowtype
before you fetch, and you can't determine it dynamically. With
DBMS_SQL, there's describe_columns(), but the package only works
with scalar data types and doesn't support ADTs...
