The biggest pitfall for new users of TCG is the fact that "normal" temporaries die at branches, and we must therefore use a different "local" temporary in that case.
The following patch set changes that, so that the "normal" temporary is the one that lives across branches, and there is a special temporary that dies at the end of the extended basic block, and this special case is reserved for tcg internals.
