That wouldn't help for excluding temp schemas, and it's not totally
trustworthy for information_schema either.

But I think the real problem with Ron's proposal is that it presumes
there is a one-size-fits-all notion of "system schema".  As a
counterexample, for some maintenance activities (such as vacuuming)
you might wish to process pg_catalog.

What I'd suggest as an improvement that could be implemented
immediately is to wrap the checks in a user-defined function
like "is_system_schema(nspname name)".
