Yes, I think it would make sense to have it in tree-simple.c. However I do use 
the function for fixed size array temporaries, so shomething would have to be 
done about the TREE_CODE == ARRAY_TYPE...abort(),  preferably remove it.
Other than that the F95 implementation is identical to the C one.

Is there any reason why create_tmp_var doesn't just call create_tmp_alias_var?
