0001
The way we handle name collisions during MERGE PARTITIONS operation is
reworked by integration of patch [3].  This makes note about commit in
[2] not relevant.

0002
The persistence of the new partition is copied as suggested in [1].
But the checks are in-place, because search_path could influence new
table persistence.  Per review [2], commit message typos are fixed,
documentation is revised, revised tests to cover schema-qualification,
usage of search_path.

0003
Making code more clear that we're not going to dereference the NULL
datum per note in [2].

0004
Gender-neutral terms are used per suggestions in [2].

0005
Commit message revised

0006
Revise documentation mentioning we're going to copy the parent's table
AM.  Regression tests are added.  Commit message revised.

0007
Commit message revised
