[Simon Richter <Simon.Richter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The C++ specification disallows this to permit implementations that use
the address-of operator and sizeof to calculate the address of the first
argument inside the ellipsis; sizeof(foo &) gives the size of the "foo"
class rather than the space taken up by the reference.
