inlining or not inlining...

Indeed it is, for example you won't hear much complaints from game  
developers because they rely on GPU for most of the computations these  
days,
but there are other areas where cpu is used intensively, you can be sure  
just because of this simple issue they won't use D. And the funny part is  
that it doesn't hurt anyone having this with the specific features D has  
(annotations), it is a win-win. Also i am not talking about c++ "inline"  
keyword here, if you go check a few open-source cpu heavy projects, they  
mostly use compiler specific forced inlines.

@inline // either inline this or give me an error why you can't / won't.
