The root cause of this bug is that it considers reference with cv-qualifiers 
as an error by generating value for variable "bad_quals". However, this is 
not correct for case of typedef. Here I quote spec:
"Cv-qualified references are ill-formed except when the cv-qualifiers
are introduced through the use of a typedef-name ([dcl.typedef],
[temp.param]) or decltype-specifier ([dcl.type.decltype]),
in which case the cv-qualifiers are ignored."
