Now, when it can't inline, do you expect the compiler to produce an error message?
Yes.
If so, what corrective action is the user faced with:
The user can modify the code to allow it to be inlined. There are a huge number of constructs that cause dmd's inliner to completely give up. If a function _must_ be inlined, the compiler needs to give an error if it fails.
