Postgresql documentation/behavior inconsistency

[Peter Kovacs <kovacsp@knowpost.com>]

I've just installed the latest unstable release of postgresql (v 7.0.2) on
my machine, and I'm a little confused with an inconsistency in the local
documentation and the docs provided at Postgresql.org.

On this page: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/tutorial/advanced.htm#AEN1494
it says that the "Select * from cities*" is old, deprecated
behavior.  However in my local copy the documentation reflects that as the
current behavior.  

As far as I can tell 7.0.2 is the latest.  Does anybody know the source of
the inconsistency?  I'd really rather prefer the behavior documented at
the site (by default the query examines subclasses).

Thanks,
Peter
