I agree that we should consider new syntax, and there's a related
discussion here:

Regardless, even with syntax changes, we need something to print when
someone does a "SHOW search_path", i.e. some representation that
indicates pg_temp is excluded. That way it can also be saved and
restored.

If so, that should be a separate feature. For the purposes of this
thread, we just need a way to represent a search path that excludes
pg_temp and/or pg_catalog.
