Personally I like it. Perhaps you forgot
pragma(inline, never);  // don't inline or die
but I honestly have no idea if this would actually be useful.

Anyway, I'm really fine if there will be no way to force inline. 
But if we can't guarantee that inlining actually happens, please 
change the pragma name.
