On a re-read, I think I see your point -- it is the DECLARE LOCAL TEMP
TABLE versus CREATE { GLOBAL | LOCAL } TEMP TABLE which determines
whether the table definition is persisted.  Both forms of CREATE TEMP
TABLE should persist the definition if you go by the standard, so you
don't want to muddy the waters by complying on one and not the other?
