OK, then we may need a new flag that indicates that we are doing some 
processing after all the constant expression checks from parsing have been 
done.  (With an eventual preference that anything creating SAVE_EXPRs at 
all should happen at that late stage - that the front-end representation 
created during parsing should be closer to the source, including not 
needing to refer more than once to a given source expression, and 
genericizing / gimplifying / some such lowering step handling semantics 
that require SAVE_EXPRs.)
