This points to a larger discussion about what precisely foreign tables can and cannot inherit from local ones. I don't think that a generic solution will be satisfactory, as the PostgreSQL FDW could, at least in principle, support many more than the CSV FDW, as shown above. In my estimation, the outcome of discussion above is not a blocker for this patch.
