Excerpts from Fujii Masao's message of jue nov 25 10:47:12 -0300 2010:

I gave this a look. It seems good, but I'm not sure about this bit:
+ case 'W': /* Start Copy Both */
+ /*
+ * We don't need to use getCopyStart here since CopyBothResponse
+ * specifies neither the copy format nor the number of columns in
+ * the Copy data. They should be always zero.
+ */
+ conn->result = PQmakeEmptyPGresult(conn, PGRES_COPY_OUT);
+ if (!conn->result)
+ return;
+ conn->asyncStatus = PGASYNC_COPY_BOTH;
+ conn->copy_already_done = 0;
+ break;
I guess this was OK when this was conceived as CopyXlog, but since it's
now a generic mechanism, this seems a bit unwise. Should this be
reconsidered so that it's possible to change the format or number of
columns?
(The paragraph added to the docs is also a bit too specific about this
being used exclusively in streaming replication, ISTM)

I'm not so sure about this. If we think that it's worth adding a new
possible state, we should do so now; we will not be able to change this
behavior later.
