Also remember we have the @inline(never) attribute. It’s not underscored so I’m 
assuming it’s an “official” part of the language. And "@inline(never) 
@inlinable" is a perfectly valid combination — it serializes the SIL for the 
function body, and while inlining it is prohibited, it is still subject to 
specialization, function signature optimizations, etc.
