Research direction

Start by reading the linked discussion in issue #3300 and locating the lvalue_p entry point in the gccrs source. Trace whether it currently consumes trees or HIR nodes, then confirm the intended boundary and update scope with maintainers; done means lvalue_p operates on HIR nodes with relevant compiler tests still passing.
