[Bug c++/19112] assignment from function to template fails

gcc is correct: the result of getSomething is a temporary. Temporaries can 
only be bound to const references, not to non-const ones. Thus, the 
constructor 
    UsePointer(Pointer<TEST> &point)  
        : m_localCopy(point)  
    {}  
is not a candidate. In order to use the constructor 
    UsePointer(Pointer<TEST> point)  
    : m_localCopy(point)  
    {  
    }  
you need to be able to copy objects of type Pointer<int>, but then you 
run into the same problem of not having an appropriate copy constructor 
of Pointer that takes a constant reference.
