What new format? The usefulness of fieldsep does not extend outside of xSV, and it's no suprise that there have been no other use for a fieldsep-like variable until now, with the other formats supported in psql. In fact it's even absurd for any format to use a non-fixed separator at a place that is key for being parsed unambiguously. We could even support only the comma and make it non-configurable based on the fact it's Comma-Separated-Values, not Whatever-Separated-Values, except that won't do much to serve the users interests, as the reality is that people use various separators.
