Are you serious? You'd like to mess up the COPY syntax even further
for a purely grammatical reason!

A good few months ago I put formward an idea to change (well migrate
really) to "COPY TABLE" rather than "COPY" - this would allow a well
designed and thoughtout syntax for the new version while retaining old
compatibility.
