I'm -0.2 on documenting this. In general, I'm hesitant to promise more than strictly needed, mostly because it's more difficult to later change our minds. For example, what if soon after this patch we decide to invent a new mechanism for creating names on partitions? Also, in reality there are additional considerations (how do we truncate very long names, what do we do if the name is already taken) that I would rather not ossify in user-facing documentation. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
