Yeah, chances are that someone is going to make a change that will
require for example 8.4, and nobody would update this because the
differences between 8.2 and 8.4 are long forgotten.
It seems there is more enthusiasm on the side of not documenting it, so
I'll close this commit fest entry.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hello Tom,
I agree that compatibility with protocol v2 (pg 7.4) is not an issue.
As Tom, I would not have bothered, though, however once it is there why
not?
As far as the patch goes --- I think that someday in the not too distant
feature we ought to rip out libpq's support for v2 protocol,

Hello Tatsuo-san,
If we want to support pre 7.4 backend (which only supports the version
2 protocol), we could test the current protocol version and decide
whether we should send out "\." or not, but I doubt it's necessary.
Comments?
Code tested, ok.
I agree that compatibility with

While populating pgbench_account table by using COPY FROM STDIN,
pgbench sends out "\." at the end of the copy data. However this is
only necessary in the version 2 of frontend/backend protocol (i.e. the
version 3 protocol does not need it). I think we can safely remove the
code to save a few CPU
