Folks,

This is for 9.3, of course.

I noticed that CREATE FOREIGN TABLE (LIKE some_table) doesn't work.  I
believe it should, as it would:

- Remove a POLA violation
- Make data loading into an extant table even easier, especially if
  there need to be filtering or other cleanup steps

Come to think of it, which CREATE TABLE options are inappropriate to
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE?

Cheers,
David.
