Обсуждение: INHERIT vs INHERITS

Hi,

Has anyone ever complained about the inconsistency (at least it seems
that to me) of using INHERITS in CREATE TABLE and INHERIT in ALTER
TABLE?
Anyone, besides me, think we should fix that? Maybe support both
version in both commands or choosing one using it everywhere?

They make sense to me as an English speaker.  CREATE TABLE more or
less has a *description* of the table to be created, while ALTER
TABLE contains *actions* to take.  ADD COLUMN, DROP COLUMN, INHERIT.
They are sub-commands.
In normal conversation you might say "Jane rides the bus to work." 
But if you want to change that, you might say "Jane, ride your
bicycle to work."
