Currently when checking p3 Clang will diagnose `static_cast<T&&>(e)` as invalid if the argument is not reference compatible with `T`. However I believe the correct behavior is to also check p4 in those cases. For example:
```
double y = 42;
static_cast<int&&>(y); // this should be OK. 'int&& t(y)' is well formed
```
Note that we still don't check p4 for non-reference-compatible types which are reference-related since `T&& t(e);` should never be well formed in those cases.
