Had to think a bit.  It obviously comes down to the
issue of needing the address of a value, as opposed
to an lvalue that already exists in the inferior.

This is obviously a bit more obscure than the mere
mention of a quoted string, but how about passing a
literal to a const-reference formal parameter?
