What you have here looks fine to me.  We could be more picky regarding
the types or relations that can be added, as it can actually be
possible to have a partitioned table or index, two relkinds of their
own, but what you are proposing looks fine enough here.

This is actually a bug fix, because we include in the docs some
incorrect information, so it should be backpatched.  If there are no
objections, I'll take care of that.
