But when I say

CREATE TABLE ( a int PRIMARY KEY, ... ) PARTITION blah ...

then I expect that the primary key will be enforced across all 
partitions.  We currently sidestep that issue by not offering seemingly 
transparent partitioning.  But if you are planning to offer that, the 
unique index issue needs to be solved, and I see nothing in your plan 
about that.
