Tom, does your inherit pass constraints fix apply to anything on the
TODO list, like:

* Unique index on base column not honored on inserts from inherited table INSERT INTO inherit_table (unique_index_col)
VALUES(dup) should fail [inherit]

No; that was a fix for something that did work in 6.5, but I had
unknowingly broken it :-(.

I guess what the above TODO item is complaining about is that indexes
on a parent table are not duplicated for the child table.  That should
happen, I suppose, but it'll take an all-new chunk of code.
