Huh? That's fairly nonsensical for the backend-side case; there's no
way that stdin (or stdout) of a backend is going to connect anywhere
useful for this purpose. As for doing it on the psql side (\copy),
I think it would be more or less automatic. If you do say
foo | psql -c "\copy tab from 'bar |'" dbname
then bar is going to inherit psql's stdin, which is coming from foo.
