So the idea here to make it possible to have a function that can be specialized at certain types, and explicitly inlined at specific use sites, but ghc otherwise will not inline it? Cool!

one thought: might it be simpler to instead have something like EXPLICIT-INLINABLE, rather that requiring the juxtaposition of two pragmas which "seem" contradictory?

I like that idea. How about SPECIALISABLE? This is a nod to the possibility that GHC might someday automatically specialize an imported function.

Or EXPOSE? Or EXTERNAL? Bikeshed activate!
