Probably I can do it in many cases but I couldn't force others
to do it. I don't object if PostgreSQL doesn't allow unqualified
table name other than in public/temporary/catalog schema.
There's no ambiguity and there's no need for the CURRENT schema.

BTW where's the description in SQL standard about the use
of SCHEMA path list to resolve unqualified table name ?
Is it a PostgreSQL's enhancement(extension) ?
As I already mentioned before, SQL-path isn't used to resolve
unqalified table name.
