The aspect notation of Ada 2012 lets me specify Inline as
an aspect giving a pragmatic hint to the compiler.
This hint is very near the declaration:

package P is

  procedure Op (X : T)
    with Inline;

end P;


Should the readers of a package spec be bothered with hints
to the compiler if these hints address optimization, or other
aspect of how to implement a subprogram?

The hint does not add to an understanding of what an operation
is to achieve, IMHO. This understanding is what I'd hope to
get from reading a spec. Alternatively,

package P is

  procedure Op (X : T);

private
  pragma Inline (Op);
end P;

still lets the reader take note of inlining, should they
be so inclined. Am I missing something?
