Actually, if you hope to have a SQL function be inlined, it's better
not to decorate it at all --- not with IMMUTABLE, and not with STRICT
either.  Both of those restrict the parser's ability to inline unless
it can prove the contained expression is equally immutable/strict.
With the default attributes of volatile/not strict, there's nothing
to prove.

(In any case, it's usually easy enough to tell from EXPLAIN output
whether inlining has happened.)
