The thing is, C++11 introduces list-initialized temporaries; I could rewrite
the testcase in C++11 as

extern "C" int printf (const char *, ...);

int main()
{
  typedef int AR[4];
  for (int *p = AR{1,2,3,0}; *p; ++p)
    {
      printf ("%d\n", *p);
    }
  return 0;
}

so it made sense to me for compound literals to have the same semantics;
otherwise you have a difference in lifetime based on whether or not the type is
wrapped in parentheses.

I definitely agree that we need to give a diagnostic about taking the address
of a temporary here.
