> When importing CSV data that is tab-separated, it's quite inconvenient to
> supply a tab literal on the command line to override the default separator
> (you need to press Ctrl-V, followed by Tab, which isn't well known).
> It would be better if it was possible to supply something that looks like a
> tab literal, i.e. '\t', or something else like '<tab>', to reduce the
> complexity in supplying a tab separator.
> Regardless of the approach, the way to supply a tab character should also be
> added to the documentation (or to the command line docs provided by the tool).
> This should be done for both the map reduce bulk loader, and psql.
