I've never understood the reason for this limitation.  I'd expect the
compiler to box any value that I take the address of, i.e. automatically
convert

    p := &f()

into

    x := f()
    p := &x

Another way to put it is that I don't understand the disymmetry between

    p := &Foo{}

which works, and

    p := &5

which doesn't.
