Well, not really. 7.1 changed this behavior to depend on the
sql_inheritance GUC. It wasn't till v10 when we removed that GUC
(see e13486eba) that you could really safely assume that an
undecorated table name includes child tables. So I think we should
say it's obsolete since v10 not 7.1.
Pushed with those changes.
