Thanks for the review!

Hmm, it seemed so obvious to me that I didn’t look more closely at the
documentation :) Although I struggle to see the rationale for not
copying a table’s comment in a CREATE TABLE LIKE ... INCLUDING COMMENTS
statement, I have to agree that the documentation is quite clear about
this limitation, and therefore it cannot really be considered a bug.
That said, it may well be worth considering for a future release.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Best, Jim
