Thanks for confirming.  I think that it would be nice as well to add
more test coverage for such error patterns with all the strategies.
It would be good to fix that first, so I can take care of that.

Now I don't really find the error "missing FROM-clause entry for
table" quite convincing when this is applied to a partition bound when
using a column defined in the relation.  Adding more error classes in
the set of CRERR_NO_RTE would be perhaps nice, still I am not sure how
elegant it could be made when looking at expressions for partition
bounds.
