Description
LWG-3819 reference_meows_from_temporary should not use is_meowible
In #5537, @frederick-vs-ja said:
LWG-3819 has not been implemented. Because Clang's intrinsics haven't covered these cases, and library workaround doesn't seem possible.
Even if the resolution for this LWG issue needs to happen in the compilers, we still need test coverage when that becomes available. Per @joemmett in VSO-3000560, "Our implementation does not use is_meowable to determine these traits so we should be LWG-3819 compliant already."
