   Right. As I understand it, the real point is that a temporary
is not an lvalue, i.e. something that can appear on the left hand
side of an assignment. You can pass one to a method which takes a
const reference because it can't be written to, but you can't pass
it to a method which takes a non-const reference because that would
imply that you could assign to it, and that requires an lvalue.
