No.  You could use a view with UNION ALL perhaps.

(The subtext here is that past discussion of inheritance has generally
focused on *eliminating* differences between parent and child tables, so
as to make query planning and execution faster/simpler.  That is, when the
discussion doesn't consist of somebody wanting to get rid of inheritance
altogether.  I think the enthusiasm for supporting even-less-compatible
child tables will be not distinguishable from zero.)
