COPY. We need a restriction here because when the delimiter occurs as a data character, it is emitted with a backslash, and that will only work as desired if CopyReadAttributesText() will interpret the backslash sequence as representing the second character literally. This is currently untrue for 'b', 'f', 'n', 'r', 't', 'v', 'x', and octal digits. For future-proofing and simplicity of explanation, it seems best to disallow a-z and 0-9. We must also disallow dot, since "\." by itself would look like copy EOF. Note: "\N" is by default the null print string, so N would also cause a problem, but that is already tested for.
