How is this better than "copy (...) to stdout"? E.g.:

$ copy (select * from pg_class limit 1) to stdout;
2619    pg_statistic    11    12016    0    10    2    2619    0    18    402    18    2840    t    f    p    r    31
0    f    f    f    f    f    t    n    f0    478    1    {postgres=arwdDxt/postgres}    \N    \N
 

You can still copy the necessary parts (using mouse selection) -
seems that it achieves the the same goal.
