When configured for historical behavior would need to:
1. have search path: temp, any, system
2. guard against duplicate table names across all schemas (except temp schema)
Or are you thinking about a per session behavior ?
I would rather envision a per database behavior.
Maybe the easy way out would be a "default creation schema" property for
each user, that would default to the username. If you want everything in one
schema simply alter the users.
