You can do that today, e.g.
copy (select to_json(q) from table_or_query q) to stdout
You can also do it as a single document as proposed here, like this:
copy (select json_agg(q) from table_or_query q) to stdout
The only downside to that is that it has to construct the aggregate,
which could be ugly for large datasets, and that's why I'm not opposed
to this patch.
