It depends on what you're planning to do with sret. If you're planning
to support C structs, then it's fine.

But it's definitely not ok for C++ classes, it will be much better for
frontend to expand everything into proper form depending on whether
the class is small / not, and whether it has non-trivial ctor / dtor
or not.
