Hi,

When we create a range partitioned table, we cannot use
a column more than once in the partition key.
postgres=# create table t (i int) partition by range(i,i);ERROR:  column "i" appears more than once in partition key

However, I can use same expression more than once in partition key.

postgres=# create table t (i int) partition by range((i),(i));
CREATE TABLE

Although this can be blocked by the attached parch, for example,
the following is still possible.

postgres=# create table t (i int) partition by range((i),i);
CREATE TABLE

Can these definition be a problem in the internal of partitioning?
If not, we might not need to check column that apears more than once 
in the partition key.

Regards,
