If we're serious about having a "next generation" partitioning with a concept
of partition keys then it seems to me to make more sense to do that first and
then add on a feature like this. 

This is still very useful. I haven't looked at the actual patch, does it
require core changes or can it be stashed in a pgfoundry or contrib module?
