I agree -- pushed.

This paragraph
  <para>   The actions for identity columns (<literal>ADD   GENERATED</literal>, <literal>SET</literal> etc.,
<literal>DROP  IDENTITY</literal>), as well as the actions   <literal>TRIGGER</literal>, <literal>CLUSTER</literal>,
<literal>OWNER</literal>,  and <literal>TABLESPACE</literal> never recurse to descendant tables;   that is, they always
actas though <literal>ONLY</literal> were specified.   Adding a constraint recurses only for <literal>CHECK</literal>
constraints  that are not marked <literal>NO INHERIT</literal>.  </para>
 

is a bit annoying, though I think it'd be worse if we "fix" it to be
completely strict about the subcommands it refers to.
