Re: Documentation improvements for partitioning

I think you might have the titles for 0002 and 0003 backwards.

I think this sentence may be unclear to some readers:

+ One might however want to set it for only some partitions,
+ which is possible by doing <literal>SET NOT NULL</literal> on individual
+ partitions.

I think you could replace this with something like: Even if there is
no <literal>NOT NULL</> constraint on the parent, such a constraint
can still be added to individual partitions, if desired; that is, the
children can disallow nulls even if the parent allows them, but not
the other way around.

This is about list-ifying a note, but I think we should try to
de-note-ify it. It's a giant block of text that is not obviously more
noteworthy than the surrounding text; I think <note> should be saved
for things that particularly need to be called out.
