It is worse than that - user can lose his data by using
convert_selectively from SQL:
```
db1=# COPY conv_test FROM STDIN (
FORMAT csv,
convert_selectively (a)
);
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself, or an EOF signal.

COPY 1
db1=# table conv_test
db1-# ;
a | b | c
---+---+---
2 | |
(1 row)
```
So, this option should be rejected when manually specified. Looks like
we can do ereport() directly in parser, when reading option name
