It's not a solution, but I always name my cursors c_something, like:

select * from mytable where field1='test' into cursor c_mytablefield1test

or create cursor c_something (field1 I, field2 C(50))

That way it is extremely easy to see what's a temporary cursor and what's a real table in my code.

Given my naming convention, I could write a IsCursor function that returns left(alias(),2)="c_"
