Which is solved by saying that the expression is only evaluated once. The
user doesn't need to know the detail that the value is kept in a temporary
register, because that statement by itself is utterly useless for the user,
as on load/store architectures like ARM you /always/ have values in
registers if they are worked with and the compiler will happily spill
around the contents if necessary.
