There wouldn't necessarily have to be a new keyword.  Currently, the 
cases where this would be needed are the cases that don't compile. 
Similar to the way CONST works, the compiler would only need to use this 
temporary when it would otherwise issue a diagnostic.

I'm of at least two minds on this - part of me thinks the compiler could 
just do it as needed, and part of me thinks there would need to be a 
keyword.
