  14. |allow compiler implementations such that all existing conforming
  15. |compiler/program pairs could continue to work:

  19. |3) Temporaries must live until after their last access or end of block --

  23. an 'access' to a temporary.  What rules would you suggest?
  24. (Personally, I think finding good rules would be a very hard
  25. problem.  But I hope to be pleasantly surprised.)
