COPY is most certainly not superuser-only.. COPY w/ popen, if that
popen can call anything, would certainly have to be superuser-only.

COPY TO STDOUT / FROM STDIN is available to and used a huge amount by
non-superusers. Would be great if we could allow that to work with
compressed data also, imv.

Thanks,

Stephen
