Eventually, sure. For the first version, I want to skip the friendly
syntax and just add the necessary syntax. That makes it easier to
make sure that pg_dump and everything are working the way you want.
Range and list partitioning could potentially grow convenience syntax
around partition creation, too, but that wasn't essential for the
first patch, so we cut it.
