my change in AdjustNotNullInheritance is copied from
MergeConstraintsIntoExisting
``
/*
* OK, bump the child constraint's inheritance count. (If we fail
* later on, this change will just roll back.)
*/
child_copy = heap_copytuple(child_tuple);
child_con = (Form_pg_constraint) GETSTRUCT(child_copy);
if (pg_add_s16_overflow(child_con->coninhcount, 1,
&child_con->coninhcount))
ereport(ERROR,
errcode(ERRCODE_PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED),
errmsg("too many inheritance parents"));
/*
* In case of partitions, an inherited constraint must be
* inherited only once since it cannot have multiple parents and
* it is never considered local.
*/
if (parent_rel->rd_rel->relkind == RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE)
{
Assert(child_con->coninhcount == 1);
child_con->conislocal = false;
}

if you look at MergeConstraintsIntoExisting, then it won't be weird.
AdjustNotNullInheritance is kind of doing the same thing as
MergeConstraintsIntoExisting, I think.
