Hackers,

While working on cleaning up the SPI interface, I found that one of the 
SPI error codes, SPI_ERROR_COPY, is never encountered in any test case 
when running `make check-world`.  This case is certainly reachable by a 
user, as is shown in the attached patch.  Is this tested from some other 
infrastructure?

To verify that SPI_ERROR_COPY is not tested, before and after applying 
the patch, try this modification, and notice before the patch that the 
fatal error is never encountered:

	}

I am submitting this patch separately from other patches related to SPI, 
since (a) it does not touch any of the SPI code, (b) it fixes missing 
test coverage to do with COPY and PL/pgSQL, only indirectly to do with 
SPI, and (c) it should be possible to commit this patch even if other 
SPI patches are rejected.

Subject: [PATCH v1] Testing COPY inside PL/pgSQL

Adding a test for COPY being run inside PL/pgSQL code, as part of
verifying that COPY works correctly from inside SPI (which plpgsql uses
internally).
