 Feature request: give `-fexpose-all-unfoldings` the same semantics as
 `INLINABLE` on each function.

 For simplicity, for the principle of least surprise and for usability of
 `-fexpose-all-unfoldings`, so that it can actually replace tons of
 `INLINABLE` that are needed, e.g., for code with lots of abstract class
 constraints to force it to specialize to the single class that is actually
 used.
