David,
Thanks for the suggestion. That really simplifies creating the RANGE.
For all, I'm pretty much a postgresql novice, but I've tried to document what I've learned in the hopes that it can help someone else.

Please be aware that with RANGE partitions the upper bound is
non-inclusive. The lower bound is inclusive.
If you want a 2017 partition, then FOR VALUES FROM ('2017-01-01') TO
('2018-01-01') will allow all 2017 timestamps and only 2017
timestamps.
You've no need to consider precision of the type and how many 9's you
add to anything here.
