This is Postgres you're talking about - of course it's that easy! :-)

The main reason I asked, was that the manual actually claims that '\t'
can be used ("The following special backslash sequences are recognized
by COPY FROM")
As this is part of the description for the COPY command, does this maybe
mean it is only valid for COPY but not for \copy?
if that is the case, it should be documented somewhere).
Or is this related to the value of standard_conforming_strings?

From here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/app-psql.html
"The syntax of the command is similar to that of the SQL COPY command.
Note that, because of this, special parsing rules apply to the \copy
command. In particular, the variable substitution rules and backslash
escapes do not apply. "
