'x' is not an indirect argument in this context.  It is a direct argument that 
happens to be of reference type.

A normal Indirect argument is when the ABI says an argument should implicitly 
be passed as a pointer to a temporary.  IndirectByVal is when the ABI says that 
something should be passed directly in the arguments area of the stack.  Some 
targets never use indirect arguments for normal C cases, but they're still used 
for direct non-POD arguments in C++.
