What I mean here is: imagine the case of a session which creates a
temporary function, creating as well the temporary schema, but creates
no other temporary objects. In this case we don't really care about
the wraparound issue because, even if we have a temporary schema, we
do not have temporary relations. And this could confuse the user?
Perhaps that's not worth bothering, still not all temporary objects
are tables.
