Oh blech.  That IN <tablespace> syntax is awful.  What about the other
relevant parameters to CREATE TABLE - where are you going to put
those?

WITH (<storage parameter>)
WITH OIDS
WITHOUT OIDS

And what happens when I need to alter a partition after the fact, say
to move it to a new tablespace, or change the fillfactor?  Since your
syntax doesn't give names to the partitions, how will I refer to them
later?
