I support that suggestion, as I also always have to look it up as well, and things like NONLINE[~n] are really non-self-explanatory. Although "NOINLINEUNTIL[n]" is (to me, non-native-speaker) not as clear as it could be about what happens in phase n; the same with INLINEAFTER. How about this, using “from” and “before”, which (to me) make it clearer what happens at n: INLINE[n] becomes INLINEFROM[n] NOINLINE[n] becomes NOINLINEBEFORE[n] INLINE[~n] becomes INLINEBEFORE[n] NOINLINE[~n] becomes NOINLINEFROM[n] BTW, the docs say about NOINLINE “You shouldn't ever need to do this, unless you're very cautious about code size.” – should this also mention that NOINLINE are often necessary with RULES?
