That TODO was your interpretation of the discussion; I'm not sure anyone
else bought into it.

You are complicating something that could be simple.  Why not just
suppress schemas named 'pg_temp_XXX', period?  I don't see any strong
reason to display them, whether they are your own backend's temp schema
or not.  Arguably, the fact that temp tables are kept in a special
schema is an implementation detail that most people won't care about.
And there is no data that \dn can show that is really important for temp
schemas.  The owner column is at best misleading...
