<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Instances of a dereferenceable type can be used like a pointer to access an lvalue.
<h2><a name="concept-requirements"></a>Concept Requirements</h2>
<h3><a name="Dereferenceable-concept"></a>Dereferenceable Concept</h3>
<p>In the table below, <code><b>x</b></code> denotes an object whose
type is a model of Dereferenceable.
<table summary="Dereferenceable expressions" border="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><b>Expression</b></td>
<td><b>Requirements</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><code>*x</code></td>
<td>An lvalue
</tr>
</table>
If <code><b>x</b></code> is not a pointer type, it also must satsify the following expression:
<table summary="Dereferenceable expressions" border="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><b>Expression</b></td>
<td><b>Operational Semantics</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><code>x.get()</code></td>
<td><code>&amp;*x</code>, or a null pointer
</tr>
