Perhaps. What about plan B: remove the legacy syntax support in \copy?
IIRC it has not been documented since 7.2, so maybe we can finally throw
it overboard. Thoughts?
I like it for 8.3 - but maybe my present patch would be better for
8.2, as it involves less behaviour change.
While we decide this issue, which can be worked around in any case, I am
going to commit the part of the patch that nobody has objected to (and
which will fix Michael's original complaint), on HEAD and 8.2 stable, so
we can get some testing going.
