Although not strictly speaking temporary (maybe "inlined" would be a better term?), the use-case for on-demand parameters does come up (in my framing thereof) when trying to implement out-parameters, as in my [Out-parameters in Racket](https://racket.discourse.group/t/out-parameters-in-racket/3855) post. I just thought this was a relationship worth mentioning.
