Hmm. I don't think that's going to expose enough for what I want to be
able to do. I actually had in mind exposing lower level routines like
CopyReadAttibutesCSV/CopyReadAttributesText and allowing the Foreign
Data Wrapper to manipulate the raw values read (for example from an
irregularly shaped CSV file).
I think that exposing the guts of COPY to the open air is a bad idea.
We refactor that code for performance or other reasons every release or
two. I don't want to find us tied down to the current implementation
because we're afraid of breaking third-party FDWs.
In that case I guess I'll need to do what Shigeru-san has done, and copy
large parts of copy.c.
