That has the "legacy compatibility" problem...

But seeing as "legacy" has a:SET search_path TO public;

And uses plain <table> in it's queries/creates/drops, couldn't we just
make "new" pgbench refer to tables as <schema>.<table> where <schema> is
"public"?  If we leave "schema" as public, and leave in the search_path,
we should be identical to what we currently have, except we've
explicliyt scoped was was searched for before.

And it leads to an easy way for people to change public (in the
search path and/or <schema>.<table>) to do other things (although I'm
not saying that's necessarily required or desired either).
