Once you understand the idea of "object context" and "value context",
you simply have to memorize which operators have which context(s):

    &foo       - object context
    sizeof foo - object (or maybe even "sizeof") context
    foo + bar  - two value contexts
    foo = bar  - one object context, one value context
    ++foo      - object context

and so on.

I know you Chris and I love you like a brother but given..
    int foo = 2, bar = 3;

    &foo       - is the address of foo, a 'value' of type (int*)
    sizeof foo - is a value (4 at my house) of type (size_t)
    ++foo      - is a value (now 3) of type (int)

None of these have 'object' context as I see it. What are you trying to tell us here?
