I've not really been following the storage am patch, but given that a
partition's TABLESPACE is inherited from its partitioned table, I'd
find it pretty surprising that USING wouldn't do the same. They're
both storage options, so I think having them behave differently is
going to cause some confusion.
I think the patch I just submitted to [1] should make it pretty easy
to make this work the same as TABLESPACE does.
