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. :)
