Thanks for the patch.

I believe patch 003 (EXCEPT table) and 004 (EXCEPT column_list) should
be the primary focus. The other patches, RESET and ADD ALL tables are
additional features and may or may not be necessary depending on
further input.

I suggest making 003 and 004 as 001 and 002 respectively, and
prioritizing these first.  The RESET and ADD ALL tables patches can
become 003 and 004, and we can review them after the first 2 patches
are fully evaluated. The documentation formatting changes for ALTER
PUBLICATION are not required in this patch and, if needed, can be
handled separately.

thanks
