I think we should make a generalised check (with types that can be configure).
In LLVM I can think of `SourceLocation` which is small and should be passed by value too.
Also, pass by value should be applied to built-in integer/floats and pointers.

------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't this a misleading behavoir?

```cpp
void badFunctionMutable(MyOp &op) {
  op = newOp()
}
```

What if someone overrides `op` inside function - then the check produces FP?
