Examining why psql won't do sensible stuff with COPY BINARY, I realized 
that psql still uses PQgetline, which is marked obsolete since 7.4.
Is this intentional or just a "never reviewed because it works"? 
Unfortunately, psql/copy.c also states "if you want to use copy in your 
app, this is the code to steal". Seems not a good template code any more.
