Why invent new syntax when "create tablespace" is something a lot
of folks will recognize?

And why not use "create table ... using ... "?  In other words, 
Oracle-compatible for this construct?  Sure, Postgres doesn't
have to follow Oraclisms but picking an existing contruct means
at least SOME folks can import a datamodel without having to
edit it.

Does your proposal break the smgr abstraction, i.e. does it
preclude later efforts to (say) implement an (optional) 
raw-device storage manager?
