Given drop temp table x is just syntactic sugar to drop table PG_TEMP.x I think the (slight) increase on the bug-surface is enough to avoid it, as the pg_temp. makes it equally clear and explicit you are dropping a temporary table. And if the programmer forgets the pg_temp. it can equally forget the TEMP.
