Now, when it can't inline, do you expect the compiler to

Yes, this is the very point of such feature - telling that if
code can't be inlined, it is effectively unusable.
If so, what corrective action is the user faced with:
pragma(inline, some expression that determines the compiler
version and evaluates to true only if this particular function
can be inlined);
Prohibit this generally useless misfeature and keep base
semantics useful.
