Hi Justin,
Thanks for all the comments. I'll incorporate everything and submit an
updated version later.

OK. I agree that "being detached" is the state we want users to see, or
maybe "detach pending", or "unfinisheddetach" (ugh). I'm not sure that
pg_inherits.inhbeingdetached" is a great column name. Opinions welcome.

Well, I'm thinking that this has to be a verb in the imperative mood.
The user is commanding the server to "finalize this detach operation".
I'm not sure that DEFERRED fits that grammatical role. If there are
other ideas, let's discuss them.
ALTER TABLE tst DETACH PARTITION tst_1 FINALIZE <-- decent
ALTER TABLE tst DETACH PARTITION tst_1 COMPLETE <-- I don't like it
ALTER TABLE tst DETACH PARTITION tst_1 DEFERRED <-- grammatically faulty?

Correct, it does.

Not good.
