Awesome.

Will it be cross-module inlined if it's an alias to a templated function 
instantation?

module a;

ref ubyte IOREG(size_t addr)() { return *cast(ubyte*)addr; }

alias PORTA = IOREG!(0x10000);
alias PORTB = IOREG!(0x10001);

==========

module b;
import a;

void main()
{
    auto x = &PORTA;
    PORTB |= 7;
}
