This was brought up in https://reviews.llvm.org/D74094. In a complex expression,  a reference to the temporary could be returned (e.g. passed in via a parameter and back out via return) and which is then used in another part of the expression. 

I left that logic (and comment) in place from the original patch, since it seems to be to be conservative w.r.t. preserving the status quo.
