In addition to liking the sound of it, I like that it is more “modifer-y” than
“value”, meaning that it could conceivably be applied to other entities:
inline record R(int a);
inline enum Foo { A, B };
I like it too - especially because in C/C++ "inline" doesn't actually
_force_ the compiler to do anything. So, I like the hint-y nature of
this keyword and I think it brings front & center what this feature is
about in a way that 'value' never really did (users asking about the
difference between records and values is, I think, a proof of that
particular failure).
