Previously it was returning a clone, mostly for the two reasons:

  • Cloning Lvalue is very cheap most of the time (i.e. when Lvalue is not a Projection);
  • There’s users who want &mut lvalue and there’s users who want &lvalue. Returning a value allows
    to make either one easier when pattern matching (i.e. Some(ref dest) or Some(ref mut dest)).

However, I’m now convinced this is an invalid approach. Namely the users which want a mutable
reference may modify the Lvalue in-place, but the changes won’t be reflected in the final MIR,
since the Lvalue modified is merely a clone.

Instead, we have two accessors destination and destination_mut which return a reference to the
destination in desired mode.

r+ but I suspect this conflicted with @michaelwoerister's macroization of the visitor

Instead, we have two accessors `destination` and `destination_mut` which return a reference to the
destination in desired mode.

Before #30757 this actually caused a bug in the MutVisitor. Looks good now :)
