Neh, you're implementing a set of types in the middle-end, so using a
C only flag is Badness.

I'd keep it as you have it with saturing_flag for now, but add a FIXME
there so that it doesn't slip in if/when you merge to the trunk many
months from now.  We're probably going to have to shuffle with those
flags anyway when all the 'tree' cleanup projects go in.
