Thank you for the review!
The bug is in foreign table inheritance, which was supported in 9.5, so
I think this patch should be backported to 9.5.
Ashutosh mentioned his concern about what I proposed above before [2],
but I'm not sure we should address that. And there have been no
opinions from him (or anyone else) since then. So, I'd like to leave
that for committer (ie, +1 for Ready for Committer).
Attached is a slightly-updated version; I renamed some variables used in
rewrite_inherited_tlist() to match other existing code in prepunion.c
and revised some comments a bit. I didn't make any functional changes,
so I'll keep this Ready for Committer.
Best regards,
Etsuro Fujita
