Hi all.
This field was introduced by f0e4475

It was useful for various checks [1]
but after we allowed unique keys on partition tables in commit eb7ed3f
[2], this field became unneeded. CreateStmtContext is internal parser
struct, so no not used outside PG core (i mean, by any extension).
So, my suggestion is to remove it.

Hugo, can you please create a CF entry for this patch? Patch itself looks good.
