OK, this is a complete novice question.
Do we or do we not have temp tables (and/or unnamed tables)? 
If we don't why not?
I can see them making quite a few places of current development a lot
easier and flexible.  I do realize TANSTAAFL, but as I grok it could be
used for multiple tuple return from functions, the
deferrable-constraints problems, implementing the SQL92 join syntax, and
subselects in from clauses and select lists.

Just more of those ideas,

It is on the TODO list, and is not a hard job at all.
