But if they're synonyms, is that necessary?  I'm not indifferent to the
benefits of being able to recreate an input string exactly when all other
things are equal, but things aren't equal here.  TEMPORARY is a SQL92
keyword, TEMP is described as a "Keyword for Postgres support," but the
grammar shows that one never appears without the other.

So why not deprecate TEMP and always show TEMPORARY when reconstructing
the query?

The goal of the refactoring wouldn't be execution efficiency, it would 
be simplifying maintenance of the grammar.  And it looks like it's the
common practice elsewhere, just not in the OptTemp and OptTempTableName
rules.
