Yeah logically that makes sense, I got confused because of the another
function with name 'pg_get_publication_effective_tables'

I think the current name is confusing, not sure about what would be a
better name, IMHO pg_get_publication_partitions() is not confusing at
least.

And also ,regarding the naming of is_relid_excepted() and
is_relid_or_ancestor_excepted(), although they accurately reflect the
EXCEPT keyword, "excepted" feels a bit awkward in code. I'd suggest
changing these to is_relid_excluded() and
is_relid_or_ancestor_excluded() for better readability.  But if others
think excepted also looks fine and it's just me who doesn't like it
then feel free to ignore this suggestion.
