Let V be std::remove_cv_t<U> if U is a scalar type or cv void, or U otherwise. If T is a reference type, and given a hypothetic expression e such that decltype(e) is V, the variable definition T ref(e); is well-formed and binds a temporary object to ref, then provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise, value is false.
If T is an lvalue reference type to a const- but not volatile-qualified object type or an rvalue reference type, both std::remove_reference_t<T> and std::remove_reference_t<U> shall be complete types, cv void, or an arrays of unknown bound; otherwise the behavior is undefined.
If an instantiation of a template above depends, directly or indirectly, on an incomplete type, and that instantiation could yield a different result if that type were hypothetically completed, the behavior is undefined.
The behavior of a program that adds specializations for reference_constructs_from_temporary or reference_constructs_from_temporary_v is undefined.

std::reference_constructs_from_temporary can be used for rejecting some cases that always produce dangling references.
It is also possible to use member initializer list to reject binding a temporary object to a reference if the compiler has implemented CWG1696.
