This is forbidden by the standard (non-const refs cannot be bound to
temporaries).
I have just checked with quite an old compiler. It complained about
impossible conversion.
What crap you were using? MSVC++6.0, probably?
I believe you entirely that you had this problem - but today, at least
three generations of compilers later, it's hardly a convincing
argument.
Note that we are talking about starting a *new project*. New projects
have the beautiful property of not being bound to legacy toolsets and
today you can get essentially free C++ compilers that from the
practical point of view are 100% standard compliant.
If the project is really starting afresh, then there are even more
reasons not to dismiss C++ on the basis of some bad experiences you
had with the stone age compilers.
