It isn't. When the syntax was changed to @attribute, all the gcc 
attributes were disabled. If I understood correctly, the reason 
was that those were only meant for internal GDC use. AFAIK, 
noinline was removed even before that.

Iain did say something about adding supported attributes one by 
one as they are needed. So I guess you need to talk to him about 
adding noinline.
