In general, this approach will work but could you keep
the same signature for backward compatibility?

NextCopyFromRawFields() uses
NextCopyFromRawFields(CopyFromState cstate, char ***fields,
int *nfields) (no "bool is_csv") before we remove it. So
could you use the no "bool is_csv" signature for backward
compatibility?

bool
NextCopyFromRawFields(CopyFromState cstate, char ***fields, int *nfields)
{
return NextCopyFromRawFieldsInternal(cstate, fields, nfields, cstate->opts.csv_mode);
}

It may be better that we don't split docs for
NextCopyFromRawFields() and
NextCopyFromRawFieldsInternal(). How about referring the
NextCopyFromRawFieldsInternal() doc from the
NextCopyFromRawFields() doc something like the following?

/*
* See NextCopyFromRawFieldsInternal() for details.
*/
bool
NextCopyFromRawFields(...)
{
...
}

/*
* Workhorse for NextCopyFromRawFields().
*
* Read raw fields ...
*
* ...
*/
static pg_attribute_always_inline bool
NextCopyFromRawFieldsInternal()
{
...
}

Thanks,
