* Currently, inval messages are sent without regard for the possibility
* that the object described by the catalog tuple might be a session-local
* object such as a temporary table. This is because (1) this code has

* such tables, anyway; there is nothing that prevents that. It might be
* worth trying to avoid sending such inval traffic in the future, if those
* problems can be overcome cheaply.
