Here's a crazy option. (Assuming that a row can't be None. If not, use
a unique sentinel object.)

cur.execute(whatever)
have_row = None
async for row in cur:
    if have_row is not None:
        raise TooManyRows
    have_row = row
if have_row is None:
    raise NoRowFound

It's kinda abusing the loop construct, but it'd work. Alternatively,
you could call the dunder method directly, but that feels dirty.
Dunders are for defining, not calling.
