In a random-encoding environment, the option to specify byte values 
directly -- at any level -- is of limited value anyway and is a 
potential source of errors.  So let's stay away from that.

I did not find the original posts that your quotations came from, but it 
has to be considered that COPY is also subject to encoding processing.  
Overall, I find this proposal to be a dangerous option.
