Really? The only references I see are in tab-complete.c relating to
COPY.
You can set the field separator to ',' but you can't do a \pset format csv
and get CSV with correct quoting, escaping etc AFAICS. It'll
still break on line wrapping if wrapping is enabled, and with
newlines in the data.
If that would be a useful addition, I can add it.
