I was thinking we could have a var like schema search path that
specifies where we try to create the object:SET tablespace_path = 'tblspc1, pg_default';CREATE TABLE test(x int);

This combines the idea of pulling the TABLESPACE specification out of
the CREATE, and allows a fallback if the primary tablespace doesn't
exist.
