I felt supporting a syntax like below will be useful for supporting current schema:

or
create publication testpub for schema CURRENT_SCHEMA

Let the user specify CURRENT_SCHEMA explicitly if required instead of not specifying anything.

I have implemented similar lines in the V6 patch at [1]. Thoughts?
