Since the big hammer (`nomerge`) is already there i suppose this is fine,
but given that there is little context in the original description,
the wording makes it seem like it's being used to workaround
something that may or may not be a bug in the first place.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with merging inlineasm in general,
if that does not break the constraints, especially since
there's already a `sideeffect` keyword possible on the inlineasm.
