Right. This goes back to our old principle of trying not to use
spec-defined syntax for not-per-spec behavior. We are already behind
the eight ball as far as temp tables go, but let's not make it worse by
blindly picking some spec-defined syntax without a plan for where we go
from here. (I'm assuming that it's reasonably likely that we will want
a spec-compatible module feature someday. We'll really have painted
ourselves into a corner if we don't think about the issue now.)
