While this doesn't answer your question directly, but when I had this
problem, I simply moved partitions to separate schema.

So, let's say I have table plans in schema public. All its partitions
are in "plans" schema.

Of course naming can be done differently, but the thing is that you can
do it, and it doesn't cause any issues with queries - as long as you use
main table and not directly partitions.

Best regards,
