[Bug c++/20332] New: poor diagnostic

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

In:
struct bar {};
void foo1() {
    bar& b = bar();
    }
void foo(bar& b = bar()) {}

you get:
~/ootbc/members/src$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In function `void foo1()':
foo.cc:3: error: invalid initialization of non-const reference of type 'bar&'
from a temporary of type 'bar'
foo.cc: At global scope:
foo.cc:5: error: default argument for `bar&b' has type `bar'

for essentially the same error. The second diagnostic is distinctly inferior
