Seems like the very hard way, considering that there's no reason at all
for the ON COMMIT status to survive a given backend run.  I'd certainly
vote against adding pg_class columns for it, if that's what you had
in mind.

I don't much like reintroducing the backend-local list of temp tables
that existed in earlier releases, but maybe that's the best way to
handle this feature.  Anyone see a better way?

End of the month of course ... but I will say that the standards are
going to rise as we get closer to the end.  Patches submitted in the
last week or so had better be right the first time.
