Thanks, you're right, the documentation there can be improved. I've
pushed up a change to clarify that the USING quals will be used for the
WITH CHECK case if no WITH CHECK quals are specified. Hopefully that's
clear now, but please let me know if you feel further improvements to
this would help.

I do think we will be making additional changes in this area before too
long, but good to get it cleaned up now anyway, so we don't forget to
do so later.

Thanks!
