I was expecting to find it in "5.11.2.2. Partition Maintenance".

The structure of 5.11 seems a bit weird already, in that important
(IMO) topics like preferred maintenance procedures are buried at
a lower nesting level than essentially-historical trivia like
"5.11.3. Implementation Using Inheritance".  But maybe right now
is not the time to redesign that.

BTW, is there anything equivalent for unique/pkey constraints?
I tried "add constraint unique ... not valid" and just got a
raspberry.
