I see no reason to do so at all.

What you want is not the BackendId; what you want is the temp schema
name, and current_schemas() can tell you that.

But so far I haven't seen any convincing argument why any client query
would really want to look at current_schemas(), either. What you
actually want to know about is visibility, and computing that from
current_schemas() is quite an expensive proposition. I think what
we need to expose is RelationIsVisible and friends, not BackendId.
