Hi,

I am clearly not understanding something.  Consider:

> xof=# create table t (pk bigint not null, ts timestamp not null) partition by 
> range (ts, pk);
> CREATE TABLE
> xof=# create table t1 partition of t for values from 
> ('2024-01-01'::timestamp, minvalue) to ('2024-02-01'::timestamp, maxvalue);
> CREATE TABLE
> xof=# create table t2 partition of t for values from 
> ('2024-02-01'::timestamp, minvalue) to ('2024-03-01'::timestamp, maxvalue);
> ERROR:  partition "t2" would overlap partition "t1"
> LINE 1: ...on of t for values from ('2024-02-01'::timestamp, minvalue) ...
>                                                              ^
> xof=# 

In what way do those partitions overlap?  In other words, there does not appear 
to be a value of (ts, pk) having '2024-01-01'::timestamp <= ts < 
'2024-03-01'::timestamp for any pk where it would be ambiguous which partition 
that row would go into.  (I'm imagining it on a cartesian plane, and there 
isn't any overlap between the rectangles those partition boundaries define.)

I'm obviously missing something, but... what?  Thank you!
