It's mostly historical IMHO. The COPY option used to have bugs for
corner cases like inheritance child tables that had been ALTERed after
creation. That's all gone now. The only reason I can see to use
these options today is if you want to try to port the dump to some
other database ... and in that case you probably shouldn't assume
multi-insert will work anyway.
