In the second paragraph of the INCLUDING COMMENTS docs I wrote:

<para>
  If multiple <literal>LIKE</literal> clauses specify
  <literal>INCLUDING COMMENTS</literal> and the source tables have
  table-level comments, these comments will be concatenated in the new
  table, separated by newlines, in the order that the
  <literal>LIKE</literal> clauses appear.
</para>

Which pretty much states the same? Please let me know if I am missing
your point here.

Thanks for the thorough tests. Much appreciated!
