Do we need a pg_partition_level that expects the individual partition OID

pg_partition_children returned only the partition OIDs, so we needed to
provide pg_partition_* functions for getting the parent, root parent,
level, etc. separately. I mean to ask if is there a need for having these
functions separately if the revised pg_partition_children already outputs
that information?
I'm thinking of the case where we only have information about a leaf
partition, and we need its root partition and the actual level in the
partition tree.
If we had
SELECT pg_partition_root_parent('leafpart');
and
SELECT pg_partition_level('leafpart');
-- we don't need the pg_partition_level('leafpart', 'parentpart')
function now.
We can use pg_partition_children() for the rest.
pg_partition_leaf_children()'s output can be obtained as follows, after
adding isleaf column to pg_partition_children's output:
Yes, this is great.
Thanks !
