In v16 and later, the following fails:
CREATE TABLE boom (t character varying(5) DEFAULT 'a long string');
COPY boom FROM STDIN;
ERROR: value too long for type character varying(5)
In PostgreSQL v15 and earlier, the COPY statement succeeds.
The error is thrown in BeginCopyFrom in line 1578 (HEAD)
defexpr = expression_planner(defexpr);
Bisecting shows that the regression was introduced by commit 9f8377f7a2,
which introduced DEFAULT values for COPY FROM.
The table definition is clearly silly, so I am not sure if that
regression is worth fixing. On the other hand, it is not cool if
something that worked without an error in v15 starts to fail later on.
