one more minor issue related to error reporting.
I've only applied v28, 0001 to 0005.

);

ERROR:  foreign key uses PERIOD on the referencing table but not the

these error messages seem somehow inconsistent with the comments above?

the comments say never fail.
but it actually failed. see:

+-- (parent_id) REFERENCES [implicit]
+-- This finds the PK (omitting the WITHOUT OVERLAPS element),
+-- but it's not a b-tree index, so it fails anyway.
+-- Anyway it must fail because the two sides have a different
definition of "unique".

because in transformFkeyGetPrimaryKey.
we have `if (indexStruct->indisexclusion && i == indexStruct->indnatts - 1)`
we have pk_with_period, fk_with_period in Constraint struct.

maybe we can add a bool argument to transformFkeyGetPrimaryKey
indicate, this primary key is a conperiod constraint.
then we can check condition: the primary key is a conperiod constraint
and fk_with_period or is pk_with_period is false

I've made a patch to make these error reporting more accurate.
you can further refine it.
