The problem with this is that two sequences of commands only differing
in the ordering of two clauses give different result:
create table p1 (f1 int, f2 int);
create table p2 (f1 int, f2 int);
create table c () inherits (p1, p2);
alter table only p1 drop column f1;
alter table p2 drop column f1;
create table p1 (f1 int, f2 int);
create table p2 (f1 int, f2 int);
create table c () inherits (p1, p2);
alter table p2 drop column f1;
alter table only p1 drop column f1;
The former drops f1 from c, while the latter does not. It's
inconsistent.
