Proposed resolution:

template <ObjectType T> T* addressof(T&& r);

[specialized.addressof] specifies:

template <ObjectType T> T* addressof(T& r);
template <ObjectType T> T* addressof(T&& r);

The two signatures are ambiguous when the argument is an lvalue. The second signature seems not useful: what does it mean to take the address of an rvalue?
