More interesting data. I used vi to correct the incorrect case in the CSV file
being imported, and re-ran the \copy command. At this point in time, I did
see the messages from notice. I deleted the rows, re-edited back to the
incorrect case in the csv file, and the import ((\copy) failed.

So, my test tell me that the validity check is done BEFORE an attempt to
insert (thus firing the trigger) occurs.

Interesting, but not helpful for my application.
