This was raised in the thread for ALTER TABLE SET ACCESS METHOD (see
patch 0002):
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20210308010707.GA29832@telsasoft.com

I am not sure whether we'd want to do that for table AMs as
property inheritance combined with partitioned tables has always been
a sensitive topic for any properties, but if we discuss this it should
be on a new thread.
