Certainly this is moving in the right direction..
(acknowleging the problem).. It does the job.
but if someone knows to use it then they probably also
know to use a temp variable themselves.
It does work in that there is very little the writer can do to screw this
up.
The question is simply "is it waranted?"
It does add complexity.. I guess it needs to be added to all
the other types as well (LIST, STAILQ etc)
