Per statement NEW/OLD is an interesting case, in that it shares some of the same challenges; namely how to store the
NEWand OLD recordsets efficiently. I've wondered if there'd be some way to do that by just storing a list of CTIDs (not
sureif that'd work with HOT for OLD though).
 

I still like the idea of being able to exclude certain records during COPY though; not writing a tuple will always be
moreefficient than creating one and then nuking it after the fact. There's a similar argument to be made about in-line
transformstoo.
