create publication descendant tables

I was looking at the `CREATE PUBLICATION FOR TABLE table *;` and I ended up with a few questions.

1.) Can '*' ever be used since it includes the parent table along with the child which then results in a error being thrown about parent tables not being able to be replicated?

2.) Will it only work on current descendants or will it also work on future descendants?
