How about defining semantics like "try inlining if possible,
fallback to always emitting symbol to object file otherwise"?
That would also allow compatible implementation in dmd.
My reasoning for proposing that is that for all legitimate
cases I'd have to use __FILE__ as a template argument I'd also
want the symbol inlined to prevent the bloat. After all CT
computation such functions tend to contain 1-2 lines of runtime
code only.
In LDC, Phobos functions with __FILE__ as default template
parameter value are now marked with `pragma(inline, true)`, as a
workaround for the larger issue of what to do with __FILE__ as
template parameter.

(the issue was preventing cross-module inlining, so a workaround
was needed)
