Yeah, an explicit syntax is better.
I've researched other syntax, but I cannot find any good ones.
* ALTER TABLE child INHERIT parent AS PARTITION => implemenation "PARTITION is an INHERIT" is revealed to user.*
ALTERPARTITION child ATTACH TO parent => child is not a partition yet at that point.* ALTER TABLE parent ADD
PARTITIONchild => "partition" need to be a full-reserved word.
Are there better idea?
