I have seen enough complains on the mailing lists regarding the way
tablespaces are handled for partitioned tables and their partitions that
it looks like a very good idea to make the tablespace being inherited
automatically, by setting up reltablespace to a non-zero value even if
a partitioned table has no physical presence.  Of course not on v11 or
older releases, just on HEAD.  It is no good to have partitioned indexes
and partitioned tables being handling inconsistently for such things.
