If he looks in the schema where the view is created, sure --- it's no
different from any other non-temp table or view.

Um, are you thinking that a view V created to refer to user 1's temp
table T would refer to some other user's temp table T if accessed by
that other user? That's not how it works. The reference is absolute,
ie, by OID.

Not the same name in the same schema, but this has nothing to do with
what the views refer to; that's just a plain old name collision.
CREATE TEMP VIEW would be handy for avoiding name collisions if you want
to use the same temp view name in different clients. But it'd only hide
the *name* of the view (by putting it in your private temp schema); it
has nothing to do with access semantics.
