CREATE TABLE ... INHERITS (parent INCLUDING xxx)

[Itagaki Takahiro <itagaki(dot)takahiro(at)oss(dot)ntt(dot)co(dot)jp>]

We have two ways to copy table definitions:
  - CREATE TABLE child ( LIKE parent )
  - CREATE TABLE child ( ) INHERITS ( parent )

But "INCLUDING xxx" is supported only in "LIKE" version.
Should we have "INHERITS ( parent INCLUDING xxx )" syntax ?

We can use LIKE and INHERITS at once:
    CREATE TABLE chld ( LIKE parent INCLUDING ALL ) INHERITS (parent)
but will have annoying log messages:
    NOTICE:  merging column "..." with inherited definition

Since partitioning syntax are rewritten into INHERITS and INCLUDING ALL
internally, eliminating such logs will be better. CREATE TABLE LIKE +
ALTER TABLE INHERIT can solve the issue, but direct solutions are welcome.
