Yeah.  In particular, it conflicts with the ancient copy syntax which
we still support for backwards compatibility with versions<  7.3.  We
can fix the immediate problem with something like the attached.

(a) Should we do that?

yes.

(b) Should we back-patch it to 9.1 and 9.0?

yes.

(c) Should we consider removing compatibility with the ancient copy
syntax in 9.2, and de-reserving that keyword?  (Given that the
workaround is this simple, I'm inclined to say "no", but could be
persuaded otherwise.)




I'm inclined to say yes, but mainly because it's just old cruft. I don't expect to be able,say, to load a pre-7.3 dump into a modern Postgres.

cheers
