I disagree. I stopped writing code for the compiler when I got my first pubic hair. Now I think that useless introduction of non-obviously named temporary variables prevents reading and auditing code and is in the set of issues easiest to fix. So with all due respect (and I actually DO have a lot respect for your conservative attitude towards patches) I think that simplifying expressions (with fixes that software can easily verify producing equivalent code) helps the overall software security.
