That still leaves the parsing with quoting and escaping that needs to be done
less trivial and more bespoke than what meets the eye, no?

As mentioned upthread, I'm still hesitant to add a file format which deosn't
have any version information of sorts for distinguishing it from when the
inevitable "now wouldn't it be nice if we could do this too" patch which we all
know will come.  The amount of selectivity switches we have for pg_dump is an
indication about just how much control users like, this will no doubt be
subject to the same.
