Thanks, committed. I expanded the comment in partition.c because I
think you missed the other rationale for doing it this way, which is
that the partitioning operator might ignore some "unimportant" changes
(e.g. for numeric, the difference between 1.0 and 1.00) but for this
purpose it's better to update the relcache if there is *any* change.
