Er... no, not even C is mad enough to allow *that*!
(I tried it, just to be sure, and gcc complains.)

The problem only occurs with casts, and it's because in C you can cast
an lvalue and the result (in some cases, at least) is still considered
an lvalue. In C++, on the other hand, it apparently isn't.
