The \COPY command rejects multibyte delimiters. Is this intentional

It is certainly a known limitation, and I suspect removing it could add
non-trivial overhead to the input processing.
What is the use case for using such a delimiter?
I'm working on fixing bugs relating to multibyte character encodings. I
wasn't sure whether this was a bug or not. I don't think we should
use the phrasing "COPY delimiter must be a single character" when, in
utf8 land, I did in fact use a single character. We might say "a single
byte", or we might extend the functionality to handle multibyte characters.
