+1 for allowing HEADER with FORMAT text.  It doesn't interfere with COPY
and even if I were to agree that CSV format is the better one this seems
like an unnecessary area to impose preferences.  If TSV with Header meets
someone's need providing a minimal (and consistent with expectations)
syntax to accomplish that goal seems reasonable, as does the patch.
