What PG version are you using? Do you consider 7.4's reporting
inadequate, and if so what would you change?

regression=# create table foo(f1 text, f2 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# copy foo from stdin;
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.
>> 1 2
>> foo bar
>> \.
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "bar"
CONTEXT: COPY foo, line 2, column f2: "bar"
regression=#
