It would certainly require a lot of rethinking of assumptions, in the
planner and elsewhere. I have no good idea of how large the actual
patch might end up being if it were attempted. But it's not something
that's high on anyone's wish-list, and there's a chance that it could
interfere with development of inheritance behaviors that people *do*
care about (like partitioning).
