Tablespaces for temporary objects

Hi,
I've decided to start hacking on PostgreSQL, and I've looked at the
easier jobs in the TODO list. I'm interested in implementing:

% Add a GUC variable to control the tablespace for temporary objects and sort
files. It could start with a random tablespace from a supplied list and cycle
through the list.

I wanted to know if there are any comments on how I should implement
this. I've already started and temporary tables already honour
the 'temp_tablespaces' GUC variable I created. However, I'm not very happy
with the name, and probably someone will have other comments on this.

Thanks.

If you've already got a patch for this, you should submit it to
pgsql-patches and request feedback there.
