That would certainly simplify things. I think I thought about that as
far back as a734fd5d1c309cc553b7c8c79fba96218af090f7 but it seemed
like a significant behavior change and I wasn't sure that everyone
would like it. In particular, it adds overhead to backend startup
that, in the case of a large temp schema, could be fairly long.

Nevertheless, I tentatively think that a change like this is a good
idea. I wouldn't back-patch it, though.
