OK.  I read the TODO and it says only:

    * Have psql \dn show only visible schemas using current_schemas()

so that's what I did, but I think now I have to add a test so only
non-visible temp schemas are suppressed, and I think we have good logic
for doing this because they really didn't create those schemas themselves ---
the schemas are just an artifact of how we implement temp tables.
Having one is fine, but having tons that obscure user-created schemas is
probably bad.

I will do that and repost.
