Hi hackers.

(This is a DOCS improvement patch only)

This patch was originally in another thread, where it was suggested
[1] to post separately (here), since it is an independent improvement.

~

The "CREATE PUBLICATION" docs [2] say:
"This does not apply to a partitioned table, however."

It is ambiguous as to exactly what "this" refers to:
- does "this" mean just the '*' of the prior sentence?
- does "this" relate to the whole 'ONLY'/'*' discussion?

The patch removes the ambiguity. PSA v1.
