Yeah, it permits, but only in certain circumstances that AFAICT aren't
met.  This expression AFAICT is an lvalue that isn't a bit-field, so
it has to bind directly, per the first bullet in 8.5.3/5.  Since it
meets the conditions of this first bullet, it doesn't get to use the
`otherwise' portion of that paragraph, that creates a temporary.  Or
am I misreading anything?

Err...  But in what sense does my patch change that?  See, what I'm
doing is hoisting the indirect_refs that are inserted by
stabilize_reference out of the cond_expr.  They weren't in the
original code.  There's no dereferencing going on unless the whole
expression undergoes lvalue-to-rvalue decay, so I'd argue that the
transformation I'm proposing actually matches even more accurately the
meaning of the original source code.
