3/ Your synthetic variable gives surprising results if <<identifier>> appears on
the LHS of an assignment operator, because you will assign to the synthetic
variable, not the obvious one. Solutions are to only allow identifiers declared
"final" (and make the synthetic variable final) OR don't use a synthetic
variable and instead insert the cast everywhere the identifier is used (except
on LHS of assignment).
