Oh, and while I'm bitching: it seems like there is hardly any part of
the partitioning code in which the comments aren't desperately in need
of a copy-editing pass. They are just chock-full of misspellings,
grammar that is faulty enough to make the meaning unclear, and/or
errors of fact. An example of the latter is the repeated claims that
the basic partitioning functions belong to the planner. Maybe that
was true at some stage of development; but AFAICS the logic in question
now lives in src/backend/partitioning/, which I would not think is
part of the planner.
