Ah nice, pushed with this instead of the ||:
if (TYPE_REF_P (type)
? ((TYPE_REF_IS_RVALUE (type)
? xvalue_p (expr) : lvalue_p (expr))
&& same_type_p (TREE_TYPE (expr), TREE_TYPE (type)))
/* Don't warn when converting a class object to a non-reference type,
because that's a common way to create a temporary. */
: (!glvalue_p (expr) && same_type_p (TREE_TYPE (expr), type)))
