Folks,

Please find attached a PoC patch to implement $subject.

So far, with a lot of help from Andrew Gierth, I've roughed out an
implementation which allows you to ALTER FOREIGN TABLE so it inherits
a local table.

TBD: CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ... INHERITS ..., docs, regression testing,
etc., etc.

Cheers,
David.
