Well, I now wonder whether I did the right thing in adding temp tables
the way I did. Is there a better way. The current code maps to
original name to temp name on opens using the relcache. That way, the
original name is passed all through the code. When we print an error
message, we use the user-supplied name, not the temp name.
However, if the code reaches directly into the pg_class tuple and pulls
out the name, it will see the temp name.
