/// **What it does:** This lint warns on items annotated with `#[inline(always)]`, unless the annotated function is empty or simply panics.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** While there are valid uses of this annotation (and once you know when to use it, by all means `allow` this lint), it's a common newbie-mistake to pepper one's code with it.
///
/// As a rule of thumb, before slapping `#[inline(always)]` on a function, measure if that additional function call really affects your runtime profile sufficiently to make up for the increase in compile time.
///
/// **Known problems:** False positives, big time. This lint is meant to be deactivated by everyone doing serious performance work. This means having done the measurement.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```
/// #[inline(always)]
/// fn not_quite_hot_code(..) { ... }
/// ```
