  41    Basically this pass searches the function for return statements which
  42    return a local aggregate.  When converted to RTL such statements will
  43    generate a copy from the local aggregate to final return value destination
  44    mandated by the target's ABI.
  45
  46    That copy can often be avoided by directly constructing the return value
  47    into the final destination mandated by the target's ABI.
