TEMP segments

I just found a new command that creates TEMP segments. It is well known that index creations first create the index segments as TEMP segments then 'convert' them to index segments upon completion. What I just found out
(thanks to a failed operation) is that 'CREATE TABLE AS SELECT' (ctas) also
creates the segments as TEMP first.
