  > lvalues aren't values. lvalues are values in the same way that object references (not objects themselves) are values; perhaps more precisely, lvalues are values the same way that pointer values are values.

    An object reference is totally an rvalue: you can't mutate the object reference, only the object it refers to. AFAICT, lvalues are more akin to objects themselves, in that they can be mutated.

  ...And here you are, completely demonstrating my point: Your defintion of "value" is not the same as the one in common usage: if you're going to go around using strange definitions of words we all know, at least tell us beforehand.
