In certain cases the object designated by an access discriminant can be stack-
allocated, for example when the enclosing object is a local object declaration.
However, if the access discriminant is an aggregate component of a return
expression or a return object, it must be allocated dynamically.

The following must output

        * sem_util.adb (Mark_Coextensions): A coextension for an
        object that is part of the expression in a return statement,
        or part of the return object in an extended return statement,
        must be allocated dynamically.
