What PG version are you using?  Do you consider 7.4's reporting
inadequate, and if so what would you change?

regression=# create table foo(f1 text, f2 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# copy foo from stdin;
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.
>> 1    2
>> foo  bar
>> \.
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: "bar"
CONTEXT:  COPY foo, line 2, column f2: "bar"
regression=#
