[BUGS] psql's \copy incompatible with :variables

[The Fuzzy Chef]

Summary: \copy interprets psql's :variables as literal strings

Tested On: 8.4.4, 9.0.4

Severity: Annoyance

Steps to Reproduce:

        psql

        \set filename 'test.csv'

        \copy pg_class to :filename with csv

        \q

        ls

        :filename

Note that psql variables work perfectly fine with COPY.  It's just \copy
which seems to be misbehaving.
