Absolutely. The tm-* interface is very low-level.

More precisely: any conversion tree->stree or stree->tree amounts
to the result being synthesized. In particular, tree->stree->tree
is equivalent to copying a tree.

No, except that the tm-* interface will probably be replaced by
something more secure later on. But don't worry about that:
I will keep things upward compatable for a long while,
modulo possible renamings.
