    But to follow your suggestion, why don't we just have _one_ generic
    uninterned "tmp" symbol for all such uses.

We could do that.  It would work.

It would be a little better to have a list of ten of them and pick at
random.  That would facilitate examining values in the Lisp debugger
on those occasions when you really want to.
