Function argument expressions and return expressions are both considered to be cvalues. However, they shouldn't be considered as cvalues if they are explicitly casted.

[ ] Queries have been added for the following rules:
rule number here
[x] Queries have been modified for the following rules:
The evaluation performance (memory, execution time) of an existing query.
The results of an existing query in any circumstance.
If you are only adding new rule queries, a change note is not required.
Author: Is a change note required?
[x] Yes
[ ] No
🚨🚨🚨
Reviewer: Confirm that format of shared queries (not the .qll file, the
.ql file that imports it) is valid by running them within VS Code.
[ ] Confirmed
Reviewer: Confirm that either a change note is not required or the change note is required and has been added.

Query development review checklist
For PRs that add new queries or modify existing queries, the following checklist should be completed by both the author and reviewer:
Author
[x] Have all the relevant rule package description files been checked in?
[x] Have you verified that the metadata properties of each new query is set appropriately?
[x] Do all the unit tests contain both "COMPLIANT" and "NON_COMPLIANT" cases?
[x] Are the alert messages properly formatted and consistent with the style guide?
[x] Have you run the queries on OpenPilot and verified that the performance and results are acceptable? As a rule of thumb, predicates specific to the query should take no more than 1 minute, and for simple queries be under 10 seconds. If this is not the case, this should be highlighted and agreed in the code review process.
[x] Does the query have an appropriate level of in-query comments/documentation?
[x] Have you considered/identified possible edge cases?
[x] Does the query not reinvent features in the standard library?
[x] Can the query be simplified further (not golfed!)
