Before any of the below happen, I think it'd be good to get a cleaner
way to define partitions; one that didn't involve manually messing with
constraints, etc.

That would be nice, though if we had a built-in job facility of some
kind it wouldn't be needed for time-based partitioning.

Is there anything stopping those from being done right now? The only
thing I can think of that we're missing is an optimization where a
partition with a single key doesn't contain that key's data. Currently,
this can be done with "UNION VIEW partitioning", but perhaps there's
some more clever way to do it in the inheritance case.
