It simply means that the value of the expression is
in (or needs to be in) a temporary variable.

I'm not sure where you got the idea of a "temporary
expression" from -- it's not a concept I had in mind
when I was designing Pyrex. There are just expressions,
some of which happen to put their results into temp
vars. Whether a given expression node does so or not is
an implementation detail of that node. Most of the
time, other nodes don't need to be aware of it.
