In this old sub-thread, we removed the use of word "partition" when it didn't
mean "declarative partitioning".

Now, I'm proposing to get rid of the phrase "inheritance child" when it also
*does* apply to declarative partitioning.

Subject: [PATCH] doc: avoid saying "inheritence" when it applies to
partitioned rels
This is almost the opposite of 0c06534bd, which removed references to
"partition" for "child".
