I took a stab at implementing this, but what exactly would we check? Looks
like all the temp tables have automatic usage for the same user, according to

SELECT *,has_schema_privilege(oid,'USAGE') FROM pg_namespace;

So I'd need another way to test that the schema was created by another process.
I agree that is_visible may not be ideal for most cases, but it should be okay
if we are simply using it to filter temporary schemas, right?
