Returning of non-primitive values is currently broken, as they will return a pointer to a locally alloca-ed value, which is then freed at the moment the function returns.

Disallow this until escape analysis (#54) or some other workaround is implemented.

b3736c3e99 core: Disallow returning of non-primitive values

Non-primitive values are represented by an `alloca`-ed value in the
function body, and when the pointer is returned from the function, the
`alloca`-ed object is deallocated on the stack.

Related to #54.
