Sure. How do you think I got so far. :-)

If it uses a temp table, run the plan and discard it, don't save the
plan in the cache.

You have to call a macro on the relnames used in the plan. Before
schemas, it was just a macro. Now that Tom has them in schemas, I am
not sure how to detect them, but I assume they are in a separate schema.
Looks like he created FindTempRelations() that returns a list of temp
relations.
