The new partition will have a property specified when the user creates it. That is, while the storage property of each
storageunit (=partition) is basically independent, ALTER TABLE on a partitioned table is a convenient way to set the
sameproperty value to all its underlying storage units.

I got an impression from the discussion that some form of consensus on the principle was made and you were trying to
createa fix for REPLICA IDENTITY. Do you think the principle was unclear and we should state it first (partly to
refreshpeople's memories)?
I'm kind of for it, but I'm hesitant to create the fix for all ALTER actions, because it may take a lot of time and
energyas you were afraid. Can we define the principle, and then create individual fixes independently based on that
principle?
