Thanks for creating the patch.

+ Constraints and partition bounds on foreign tables (such as

We use "partition constraint" instead of "partition bounds" to mean the
implicit constraint of a partition (there are a few instances of that in
the documentation). So, perhaps this could be written as: Constraints
(both the user-defined constraints such as <literal>CHECK</>
or <literal>NOT NULL</> clauses and the partition constraint) are not
