    Because if you find yourself needing to create a gimple temporary
    that is an ARRAY_TYPE, then most likely something is broken elsewhere.

But why single out ARRAY_TYPE?  I don't see why there's a distinction
between that and RECORD_TYPE.  Yes, C doesn't allow copying objects of
array types and does record type, but that's language-specific and
I don't understand why we'd have that distinction at this level.
