Hi, Pavel.

Thank you for the review.

Modified as proposed by Justin.  The documentation for the way new
partitions are created is now in separate patch.

Fixed, thanks.

Thank you, but I'd like to prefer keeping these modifications simple.
It's just regression tests, we don't need to have perfect naming here.
My intention is to fix just obvious errors.

Documentation is modified per proposal by Justin.  Thus double "same"
is already gone.

> Tests are passed. I suppose that it's better to add similar tests for SPLIT/MERGE PARTITION(S)  to those covering ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION (e.g.: subscription/t/013_partition.pl and regression tests)

The revised patchset is attached.  I'm going to push it if there are
no objections.

Thank you for your suggestions about adding tests similar to
subscription/t/013_partition.pl.  I will work on this after pushing
this patchset.
