Yes and temporary rvalues can be removed if unused.

Yes but rvalues are can be removed as unused.

I am not misrepresenting the standard here as there is a conversion between
lvalue and rvalue here.

Again the rvalues can be removed as unused. This is allowed in the standard
and so the semantics of the tree codes is that if the result is unused then
there is no rvalue that happens.
