That's probably reasonable to do, since as you say it would remove the
opportunity for bugs-of-omission in the CTAS table creation step.
OTOH, if you find yourself having to make any significant changes to
DefineRelation, then maybe not.

I think this is probably a bad idea; it will complicate matters and buy
little. There's not a lot of stuff needed for the actual data insertion
step, since we know the table can't have any defaults, constraints,
triggers, etc as yet.
