--- Comment #13 from Ali Cehreli <acehreli at yahoo.com> ---
If the implicitly-converted value is an rvalue (as it is), where is it stored
to take the reference of? Since it is not possible to take the address of an
rvalue simply because it may be sitting in a register, I can't see how this
"fix" can be reverted without special-casing the compiler. What kinds of
rvalues should we start taking references of?

It is unfortunate that this breaks compilation of wrong code but I think the
extent of code change should be minimal. Anyway, 2.066.1 is still available. :)
