You won't be able to shield yourself from the user's magic. You got to get the value of variable, and if it has get-magic, it's magic will be triggered, whether you put the value in a tmp variable, or in an expression. Furthermore, at the end, you're going to put the value back, so any set-magic will be triggered. Regardless whether you used a temp variable in between. But even if there's a way to avoid magic (in some cases, the use of temp variables can circumvent overload magic), in general you shouldn't. The user put that magic there for some reason (persistency, for instance), and would not expect a module to go out of its way to avoid it.
