Fair point, that means inventing a whole new OID generation structure..
Generation is just the tip of the iceberg. You still need the equivalent to foreign keys (ie: pg_depend). While you would never have a permanent object depend on a temp object, the reverse certainly needs to be supported.
If I were attempting to solve this at a SQL level, I'd be thinking about using table inheritance such that the permanent objects are stored in a permanent parent. New backends would create UNLOGGED children off of that parent. There would be a pid column that was always NULL in the parent, but populated in children. That means children could use their own local form of an OID. When a backend terminates you'd just truncate all it's tables.
Actually translating that into relcache and everything else would be a serious amount of work.
