pragma(inline, true) not very useful in its current state?

pragma(inline, true) void foo() @gcc.attribute.attribute("forceinline") @ldc.attribute.attribute("alwaysinline") @safe pure nothrow @nogc
{
	// Ok, what did I want this to do again ... ?
}

Maybe the compiler devs can decide on more common syntax like
a generic core.attribute or just use pragma for inlining, but
extend it so that it offers more options:

* no
* force
* flatten
(And maybe an additional 'allow' that convinces the compiler
 that inlining is safe.)
