The only problem I have with this is that the shops I know with big
partitioned tables favor triggers over rules for both performance reason and
a cleaner implementation. Even with automated rule creation this isnt going
to change afaics... not to mention we already create our rules & triggers
automatically, so really this just isn't exciting to me (though it may make
it easier for people getting in on the ground floor)
