I think var() and constant() are clearer in meaning for a lambda expression.
var() makes a variable into a lambda expression, and constant() evaluates
the expression inside of () and makes a constant value out of it (constant
as in not re-evaluated within the lambda expression.)

 int foo(int);
 int v;
 for_each(a.begin(), a.end(), 
                (var(v) += bind(foo, var(v)) - free1 + constant(20) ) );

vs.
 for_each(a.begin(), a.end(), 
        (lvalue(v) += bind(foo, lvalue(v)) - free1 + rvalue(20) ) );

But if you still want rvalue and lvalue I'll discuss it with Jaakko. What I
want is a term that will be easily explained to a intermediate student of
C++.
