How is this better than "copy (...) to stdout"? E.g.:

$ copy (select * from pg_class limit 1) to stdout;
2619 pg_statistic 11 12016 0 10 2 2619 0 18 402 18 2840 t f p r 31 0 f f f f f t n f0 478 1 {postgres=arwdDxt/postgres} \N \N

You can still copy the necessary parts (using mouse selection) -
seems that it achieves the the same goal.
