Yes currently, although that's not guaranteed to stay true, since most
people using inheritance want the constraints to be inherited, there's
just been a question of what that means precisely and how to do it.
For what you're doing, I'd suggest making a base table that defines the
"type" and inheriting two copies one for your main table and one for the
history.
