dmd.escape.ReturnParamDest/returnParamDest - multiple declarations

Function returnParamDest

Find out if instead of returning a return parameter via a return statement, it is returned via assignment to either this or the first parameter.

ReturnParamDest returnParamDest (
  TypeFunction tf,
  Type tthis
);

This works the same as returning the value via a return statement. Although the first argument must be ref, it is not regarded as returning by ref.
