## Message

```
stage2: improve orelse implementation

 * Now it supports being an lvalue (see additional lines in the test
   case).
 * Properly handles a pointer result location (see additional lines in
   the test case that assign the result of the orelse to a variable
   rather than a const).
 * Properly sets the result location type when possible, so that type
   inference of an `orelse` operand expression knows its result type.

```
