### add_lvalue_reference

    template <class T>
    struct add_lvalue_reference
    {
       typedef see-below type;
    };

type: If `T` names an object or function type then the member typedef `type` shall name `T&`; otherwise, if `T` names a type rvalue reference to U then the member typedef type shall name `U&`; otherwise, type shall name `T`.
