It would be useful:

CREATE SCHEMA session1234 UNLOGGED
CREATE TABLE hitlist ( ... );

Each table in the "session1234" schema would not be WAL-logged, and
would be automatically dropped on crash recovery (actually the whole
schema would be). But while the server is live it behaves like a
regular schema/table and can be seen by all backends (i.e. not temp)
