Consider the following code example:
#include<iostream.h>
template<class T> void incr(T t) { ++t; }
typedef int& rint;
void main() {
   int i = 0;
   incr(rint(i));  // Atemption to use 'template void incr<rint>(rint)'
   cout << i << '\n';
}

I compiled it by g++ 2.7.2 and the program printed 0. Is this right from
the standard point of view and call 'incr((int&)i)' should always use
'template void incr<int>(int)' instead of 'template void incr<int&>(int&)' ?
