I'd actually be happy with (N+1) different approaches. It will allow me,
and others like, to choose the one that works for us best.

At the moment I am trying to run psql in a debugger with breakpoints. I
have spent many hours troubleshooting a `\copy` from a large CSV that kept
failing, until I realized that there was a null character in the middle of
