No, you've got it. You already covered the concerns there.

For what it's worth, I agree with Andrew on this. I also agree with COPY
FROM allowing for potentially bogus commas at the end of non-arrays for
interop with other products, but to not do that in COPY TO (unless there is
some real compelling case to do so). Emitting bogus JSON (non-array with
commas) feels wrong and would be nice to not perpetuate that, if possible.

Thanks again for doing this. If I can be of any help, let me know.
If\When this makes it into the production product, I'll be using this
feature for sure.
