<p>
This note requests inliner to inline this function irrespective of
inlining size threshold for this function.

<p>
This note requests inliner to never inline this function in any situation.
This note may not be used together with inline=Always note.

<li>opt-size
<p>
This note suggests optimization passes and code generator passes to make
choices that help reduce code size.
