I've been begging for years for a a [[must_vectorize]] annotation that I can place before a loop I care about, and turn it into a compile error if the compiler can't figure it out.

Just don't do it like Rust inlining annotations:

<No annotation> – Gently suggests inlining

#[inline] - Really suggests inlining

#[inline(always)] – Really Really suggests inlining (still not guaranteed!)
