I was thinking about it as a different thing from MaterializeTemporaryExpr... but I guess it's similar enough to a lifetime-extended temporary that we can just adopt the same semantic rules.  Which might not be what a user would expect, but I guess it's at least self-consistent.

Do we need the `Info.EvalMode == EvalInfo::EM_ConstantFold` check from MaterializeTemporaryExpr?
