I wasn't agreed on it ;-)
The primary objection I've got is that I think this will be a very
considerable increment of work for exactly zero increment in
functionality, compared to being able to copy from a view. (If you're
not seeing why, consider that COPY is a utility statement not an
optimizable statement; you'd have to change that classification, with
resultant impacts all across the system.) There are other places
where the effort could be more usefully spent.
