I actually think that we should probably fix the \COPY issue first.
Otherwise, we may end up (for example) changing COPY FROM in one
release and COPY TO in the next release, and that would be annoying.
It does cause application compatibility problems to some degree when
we change things like this, so it's useful to avoid doing it multiple
times. And I can't really see a principled reason for COPY FROM and
COPY TO to behave differently, either.
