The case for it being a usability improvement seems very weak to me;
no one has yet demonstrated an actual use-case where someone would pull
CSV data out of pg_dump output instead of just dumping the table
directly with COPY.  Now the "anti" case is admittedly hypothetical:
I'm supposing that we will eventually be bitten by portability problems
with CSV-style dumps not being loadable into future versions.  But given
the weak nature of the "pro" case, I think we should be conservative
and not take that risk.
