It just occurred to me, you might to take an small integer as the 
second parameter, so people can customize their whole builds:

enum useDefaultInline = 0;
enum useProfilingInline = 1;
enum forceInlines = 2;

enum inlineStrategy = forceInlines; // change this at will

pragma(inline, inlineStrategy); // now you can get always, never, 
or default as you choose

With only a bool as the second parameter, you couldn't do this.
