Discussion:
20.2.11 [specialized.addressof] specifies:
template <ObjectType T> T* addressof(T& r); template <ObjectType T> T* addressof(T&& r);
The two signatures are ambiguous when the argument is an lvalue. The second signature seems not useful: what does it mean to take the address of an rvalue?
