Hmm.  If we modify (during pg12, of course -- not now) partition tables
that are created identical to their parent table so that they share the
pg_type row, this would become useful.  Unless there a reason why that
change is completely unworkable, I'd just leave it there.  (I claim that
it works like that only because it used to work like that, not because
it's impossible to make work the other way.)
