FWIW, we've shifted COPY more towards using executor support over the
years.  I'm pretty sure that it didn't originally use the executor's
index-entry-insertion infrastructure, for instance.

Building an RT entry seems like a perfectly sane thing to do in order
to make it use the executor's permissions infrastructure.
