Thank you for the heads-up. Yes, this means some of my code is
now "scrapped" but I did learn a lot in the process. I seem to
recall that at least one other person was recently pointed to
temprel.c (I think for temporary views?) so may I suggest
that a README be added to the backend/utils/cache directory, or
perhaps a comment at the top of temprel.c stating something
similar to the quoted paragraph above, so that others will not
use the soon-to-be-replaced temp-name code.

Also, thanks for the replies regarding the unused oids. As I
suspected, there is no rhyme or reason. :)
