    Disallow digits and lower-case ASCII letters as the delimiter in non-CSV · 2e4cb708

    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.
