For compilers other than DMD, their code needs to be generated to allow the
backend to inline/optimize calls away - something that I'm pretty sure is
not done when calling a pragma(inline, true) function that lives in another
module.

Other than that, the semantics of pragma(inline, true) should guarantee
that the function is never *written* to object file.
