To this day, I'm still having trouble remembering these names: lvalue, rvalue, prvalue, xvalue, glvalue.

While there was only lvalue, and rvalue - it was easy - LEFT and RIGHT - gives you the right intuition.

But now - if it has identity - "glvalue" - why not "ivalue" or "idvalue"?

And then can be moved - "rvalue" ? Why "rvalue", why not "mvalue", or "move-value"? Why the language have to be so constricted when comes to such an important bit - I mean we spell "value" fully, but miss the important bit...

Anyway just a rant... I'm having the same issue understanding "math" sometimes because of all the cryptic notations, and archaic symbols used.
