I already argued that TABLESPACE and OWNER TO are documented to work
that way, and have been for a long time, whereas REPLICA IDENTITY has
never been. If you want to change long-standing behavior, be my guest,
but that's not my patch. On the other hand, there's no consensus that
those should be changed, whereas there no opposition specifically
against changing this one, and in fact it was reported as a bug to me by
actual users.
FWIW I refrained from pushing today because after posting I realized
that I've failed to investigate Dolgov's reported problem.
