Re: COPY enhancements

The roadmap I would propose for the current list of enhancements to COPY
is as follows:
1. new syntax for COPY options (already committed)
2. error logging in a table
3. auto-partitioning (just relies on basic error logging, so can be
scheduled anytime after 2)
4. error logging in a file
