Uh ... why exactly would you want that? It seems impossible to parse
such a file.
If what you want is an unparsable file, you could just strip out the
quotes with "sed" after the fact. But COPY is not in the business of
producing non-machine-readable files, so the fact that it doesn't have
an option for this doesn't bother me.
