WITH OPTIONS keyword phrase is something that was made redundant in
the last version of the patch, but I forgot to remove the same in the
example.  I've sent a doc patch to fix that.

If you try - unitsales DEFAULT 0, it will work.  Note that I did not
specify WITH OPTIONS.

Thanks,
Amit

That works. Thanks!

keith@keith=# CREATE TABLE measurement_y2016m07
    PARTITION OF measurement (
    unitsales DEFAULT 0
) FOR VALUES FROM ('2016-07-01') TO ('2016-08-01');
