Getting multiple shortest paths with PgRouting in one query?

Something like

SELECT 
  source, 
  target,
  (SELECT SUM(cost) FROM  -- or whatever you want to do with the routing result
     (SELECT * FROM shortest_path_astar('...',
       source,
       target,
       false,
       false)
     ) AS foo 
  ) AS cost
FROM all_to_all;

Here's a query that returns all segments for all source-target combinations:

SELECT
    source,
    target,
    shortest_path_astar('SELECT gid AS id, length AS cost, * FROM ways', source, target, false, false) AS segment
FROM
    all_to_all

Incredible, inconsistent with SQL syntax, but works!

source | target | segment
-------+--------+----------------
     1 |      4 | (1, 2, 0.1357)
     1 |      4 | (2, 3, 0.2468)
     1 |      4 | (3, 4, 0.9)
     1 |      4 | (4, -1, 0)
