Why do you think so?
The parser looks like this:
---
if (token.value == TOK.semicolon)
{
nextToken();
_body = null;
}
else
_body = parseStatement(ParseStatementFlags.semi);
s = new AST.PragmaStatement(loc, ident, args, _body);
break;
---
A standalone `pragma(inline);` statement will have no `_body`. This can be
checked at semantic with no invasive changes.
