That's not necessary. For GDC you can do this:

alias forceinline = Attribute!("forceinline");
(I don't remember the exact syntax but you can use an alias)

Then you can simply do
@forceinline void test (){};

There's no need to reserve @_ as UDAs follow normal lookup rules.
@forceinline consflicts with some other UDA? Than use the full name,
renamed imports, add an alias, ...

That's a huge benefit of UDAs.
