Seems much too noisy for me. That would be appropriate behavior in a
GUI, but psql is not and never will be a GUI. Martijn's concern about
hacking the behavior depending on where stderr points demonstrates
exactly why we don't want to do this.
I would not object to adding a line count to the COPY command completion
report (on the server side), though. That's arguably comparable to the
number-of-rows-processed values for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.
