Actually, I think we should be doing it more often.  It doesn't live
long, there's a clearly defined mechanism for throwing it away, and it
encapsulates that the object should have target semantics.  Eventually,
if we ever get around to disallowing math on CORE_ADDR, I think this is
what we'll end up with.
