Perhaps something like a -vinline similar to -vtls? You don't
need to be spammed repeatedly every time you build saying
something isn't inlined, yet this still gives an easy way of
seeing which methods you requested to be inlined that were not.
The flag would display only functions marked with pragma(inline,
true).
