 |  I don't quite understand why (char *)foo is an rvalue.
 
 Because the C++ definition says so.
 
 |  Using a cast as an lvalue is listed as one of GCC's extensions.  
 
 That particular extension doesn't play well with the rest of the
 language and is causing more troubles than it solves any real
 problems. It may disappear in some future releases of GCC.
