TYPE_MODE shouldn't matter. Let me think about this one.
I think it does matter because if you are doing a "real" view conversion
(say a scalar to a record), you *probably* want to make a temporary of the
VIEW_CONVERSION. But maybe not. I'd need to think about that too.
I suggested same mode just to be safer: I'm sure that's safe, but I'm
not sure it's safe to include it if the mode changes and we don't do
that now. I was trying to be conservative here.
