I feel the current behavior is proper. When you create a table using LIKE, you are cloning the structure, not the
identity.Just as you have to pick a new name for the table, you should provide a new comment that fits its specific
purpose.If a comment is needed, the COMMENT ON command is already the straightforward way to handle that.
