Two things: Could you explain how "inline" works? Is there something similar in Dlang?
In C and C++, `inline` is a suggestion to the compiler that it should consider using [inline expansion][1] for calls to a particular function. However, the compiler is free to ignore this suggestion, and is also free to use inline expansion for functions that are not marked with `inline`.
In D, the closest equivalent is [`pragma(inline)`][2], which can be used to enable or disable inline expansion for a particular function. With `pragma(inline, true)`, the function will *always* be expanded inline; with `pragma(inline, false)`, it will *never* be expanded.
