Maintenance programmers already have to deal with concealed mystery types, every time you do

   f(g())
it's just syntax sugar for

   var temp = g()
   f(temp)
Now at least programmers aren't tempted to do gratuitous function nesting rather than introducing a variable just to avoid cluttering code with an unimportant type name.
