Oh.  but RESTRICT is the default.  Seems like the view should go away no
matter what, and if they mix temp and non-temp tables, is it obvious
that the view will disappear if they didn't specify TEMP on view
creation.

I can go either way, but I want to make sure we agree so I can modify
the TODO accordingly.
