Ugh. Now that sizetypes are no longer "special" we can also decide to allow ENUMERAL_TYPE in size positions (and adjust int_binop_types_match_p). But I'm not sure if we really want non-literal-sizetype sizes in type trees (they will easily appear in the extra operands of ARRAY_REF and COMPONENT_REF though, so maybe it's really the right thing to do). Otherwise using a get_initialized_tmp_var-like mechanism should be ok as long as you explicitely create the temporary variable with sizetype (I don't see that it strips the cast before getting at the type to create the temporary?)
