When we determine that a function only contains a single return
statement and it is at the top level (i.e. not inside any scopes),
there is no need to create a temporary variable and store the
result expression into a variable. Instead, we can directly replace
the function-call expression with the return-statement's expression.
Unlike my previous solution, this does not require variable
declarations to be rewritten. The no-scopes limitation makes it
slightly less effective in theory, but in practice we still get
almost all of the benefit. The no-scope limitation bites us on
structures like
@if (true) {
return x;
} else {
return y;
}
Which will optimize away the if, but leave the scope:
{
return x;
}
However, this is not a big deal; the biggest wins are single-line
helper functions like `guarded_divide` and `unpremul` which retain
the full benefit.
