Thanks again for your review. I have integrated all your edits to v4. Once you consider the changes are okay, can you please mark the CF entry [1] as Ready for Committer?


v5 Attached with a delta.

There exists described behaviors in the notes that are being removed that need to be retained; pertaining to inheritance setups.  I put a note in place of the removals pointing out that when inheritance is being used for partitioning the rules for partitioned tables apply (implied 'unless otherwise noted') and that local/independent objects can always be addressed normally.  I then incorporated the notes into the appropriate sub-command sections.  Please give it a sanity check since I'm still getting my head around all this.
