There probably aren't any. But I was still not confident of what "immediately" means in general. 

The term "immediate subexpression" is defined to be a different meaning in the standard: https://eel.is/c++draft/intro.execution#3

But I don't have a strong opinion of this. Probably not ambiguous in this context. This isn't the first time we use an overloaded term and won't be the last either, but I still like interfacing with developer with the term `prvalue` better. In my experience it's better understood.
