Perhaps it would help if an errhint is added which is written as "This relation is a %s", where %s is a relkind converted to a translatable string describing the kind? All those modules work on different objects and have different goals and prospoectives, so it looks difficult to me to come up with a sane API which is rather portable across modules. The statu-quo is not completely bad either (aka no extra error messages) as incorrect relation kind are still filtered out, perhaps the docs don't emphasize enough that an index and a partitioned index are two different things? -- Michael
