Two things: Could you explain how "inline" works? Is there
something similar in Dlang?
I don't think the D forums is the best place to ask about how
"inline" works, when you mean another "inline" than what is
available in D...
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`.
`inline` in C/C++ is only vaguely related to inline expansion.
Its meaning is related to linkage, allowing multiple definitions
of that symbol. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/inline
Dlang does not have something similar.
