        That won't quite do.  Here are two counter-examples, one an   
   expression that evaluates to an address but is not an lvalue:   
      
   	malloc(42)   
      
   ... and one an lvalue that cannot possibly involve an address:   
      
   	register int x;   
   	x = 42;   
      
   An lvalue (we're talking C here, right?) "is an expression with an   
   object type or an incomplete type other than void" (6.3.2.1p1).
