Is there a way to easily handle functions returning std::pairs?

C++11 has function std::minmax_element which returns a pair of values. This however is quite confusing to handle and read, and produces an extra, later useless variable to pollute the scope.

auto lhsMinmax = std::minmax_element(lhs.begin(), lhs.end());
int &lhsMin = *(lhsMinMax.first);
int &lhsMax = *(lhsMinmax.second);

Is there a better way to do this? Something like:

int lhsMin;
int lhsMax;
std::make_pair<int&, int&>(lhsMin, lhsMax).swap(
    std::minmax_element(lhs.begin(), lhs.end()));

Thanks!
