What new format?
The usefulness of fieldsep does not extend outside of xSV, and it's
no suprise that there have been no other use for a fieldsep-like
variable until now, with the other formats supported in psql.
In fact it's even absurd for any format to use a non-fixed separator
at a place that is key for being parsed unambiguously.
We could even support only the comma and make it non-configurable
based on the fact it's Comma-Separated-Values, not
Whatever-Separated-Values, except that won't do much
to serve the users interests, as the reality is that
people use various separators.
Best regards,
