I have considered this approach as well, but my concern is that "tempcxt"
is not always an independent memory context. In some cases, it references
another context — for example, in nodeSetOp.c’s "build_hash_table", “tempcxt"
points to "setopstate->ps.ps_ExprContext->ecxt_per_tuple_memory". There is
similar usage in nodeAgg.c as well. I’m not entirely sure that this approach would
not discard data we still need, because the lifespan of
"ps_ExprContext->ecxt_per_tuple_memory" seems to be longer than “tempcxt”.
