--- Comment #1 from Christian Brauner <christian.brauner at mailbox dot org> ---
The rationale behind this can be found in section 6.5.2.5 [Compound literals]
of the C-standard (http://www.iso-9899.info/n1570.html) in Footnote 99:

"Footnote 99) Note that this differs from a cast expression. For example, a
cast specifies a conversion to scalar types or void only, and the result of a
cast expression is not an lvalue."
