In looking at this patch, it is marking the --attribute-inserts option
as one that is best for manual editing.  However, isn't text COPY output
also good for manual editing?  I am unclear why only --attribute-inserts
should get this text addition.  I assume --inserts would also apply.  Am
I missing something?
