This makes sense because this mode is the default in the production
compiler. Forgetting to enable it where necessary led to different
bizarre test failures, see for example changes around 3fee84b966 and
KT-34826
We should only insert a return statement at the end of a lambda or
function if the final statement is used as an expression (slice
USED_AS_RESULT_OF_LAMBDA and USED_AS_EXPRESSION).
This is actually either a LAMBDA or an ANONYMOUS_FUNCTION.
Not quite sure if it's really required, but some tools such as IR-based
decompiler might require this information.
Incorporate PR from Steven Schäfer into IrType-based implicit cast
insertion (commit 17b925636e8717e7648c5d7b792c6ab4d18f776d).
NB this still uses originalKotlinType to determine if the type was
nullability flexible. It is somewhat error-prone and something we want
to get rid of. However, it boils down to some design questions related
to implicit null checks in Kotlin - e.g., it might be Ok to just treat
nullability flexible type `T!` as `T?` in IR, generate null checks for
all usages of type `T?` where a non-null type is expected, and later
eliminate the null checks that are redundant according to the (quite
conservative) criterion in the redundant null check elimination.
