We already have a pg_noinline. How about renaming
pg_attribute_always_inline to pg_mustinline? That is an alternative
that is both consistent with pg_noinline, and even terser than your
proposal.

I have no intention of holding this patch up with bikeshedding. But I
noticed that even your proposed pg_always_inline rename still leaves
function prototypes over the column limit with moderately verbose
function names. It seems better to avoid that outcome.
