Currently there's no way to do that, and it's a showstopper

This is a settled issue. After all, I wrote:

Erm. Quoting the DIP: "If a pragma specifies always inline,
whether or not the target function(s) are actually inlined is
implementation defined, although the implementation will be
expected to inline it if practical."
This is exactly the absolutely unacceptable part that makes your
DIP useless and last discussion has stalled (from my POV) exactly
at the point where you refused to negotiate any compromises on
that matter.
