My impression of things is that directly using =E2=80=9Cinherit=E2=80=9D fo=
r table creation
is considered deprecated at this point.  No one has interest in expanding
on the feature nor even recommends it be used in new development.  That
particular unique feature of PostgreSQL hasn=E2=80=99t caught on.
