This wasn't your question, but: it's not very clear if this is legal. The
generate algorithm as documented in §25.5.6 clearly requires a function
object to be passed. A function object is defined in §25 (rather implicitly,
though) to be either a pointer to function or an object with an
appropriately overloaded operator(). A reference is not an object in C++.
