I see that we disallow the CSV quote character from appearing in the
null_print string, but not the escape character.  Is this
correct/sensible?

Yes, because:
. nulls are never quoted
. fields containing the quote char must be quoted
. the escape char is only magical inside quoted fields


If it is correct, maybe the delimiter could also
match the escape character?


Yes, probably. Crazy, but I think it's workable. I'll take that test out, and just make sure that the delimiter is different from the quote.

cheers

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
      choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
      match
