DJ> ??? Since when? This program works just fine on my system:
Blame my English if my statement was incorrect.
What  I  meant  is:  the  target  of a reference cannot be replaced by
another target:
If I write
int i;
int &ir = i;
I declare ir to be a reference to i for its whole  lifetime;  I  can't
have ir refer to some other target.
This is (module syntactical differences) the same thing as writing:
int i;
int * const ir; // constant pointer to non-const int
