It's possible that that's the case, and if so then we can define it properly and make sure Clang/GCC are aligned on the semantics. This is quite a painful issue for libc++ on GCC since the current solution is to use `always_inline`, which has too many downsides. It used to be just an annoyance, but with the addition of libraries like `std::format`, using `always_inline` leads to a library that is literally unusable in some cases (compile times and code size just skyrockets). So yeah, we're much willing to collaborate in order to make this work.
