CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE name LIKE same_name

MariaDB [test]> CREATE TABLE tab (c INT) ENGINE = InnoDB;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.43 sec)

MariaDB [test]> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tab LIKE tab;

ERROR 1066 (42000): Not unique table/alias: 'tab'

I suppose that this error should only appear if I omit the TEMPORARY keyword, or if a temporary table with that name already exists. In this case, the old table and the new table are distinct entities...
