Added to the next CF, just so someone can decide to pick it up later.
Is this still needing a reviewer? If so, here it goes:
Patch applies.
make check-pgstattuple-recurse, check-pg_visibility-recurse, check-pageinspect-recurse all pass.
Code is quite clear. It does raise two questions:
1. should have these tests named in core functions, like maybe:
relation_has_visibility(Relation) relation_has_storage(Relation) and/or corresponding void functions check_relation_has_visibility() and check_relation_has_storage() which would raise the appropriate error message when the boolean test fails.
Then again, this might be overkill since we don't add new relkinds very often.
2. Is it better stylistically to have an AND-ed list of != tests, or a negated list of OR-ed equality tests, and should the one style be changed to conform to the other?
No new regression tests. I think we should create a dummy partitioned table for each contrib and show that it fails.
