+ return a local aggregate. When converted to RTL such statements will
+ generate a copy from the local aggregate to final return value destination
+ mandated by the target's ABI.
+
+ That copy can often be avoided by directly constructing the return value
+ into the final destination mandated by the target's ABI.
+
+ This is basically a generic equivalent to the C++ front-end's
+ Named Return Value optimization. */
