No, they're not.

g++ -c test.cpp
test.cpp: In function void test():
test.cpp:1:24: error: declaration of p as array of references
  void test() {  int& p[3]; }
                         ^

As I said, C++ ref can only appear at the top of an AST, which is what a 
"storage class" is.

C++ tries to have it be both a floor wax and a desert topping, making for a 
device that nobody understands. Be careful what you wish for.
