 your code in a way that may be faster than what it would do without the hint.
 The attributes are only suggestions, and the compiler may choose to ignore it.
 
+Both attributes can be used on closures, [functions] and function prototypes,

 #### `inline` Attribute
 
 The *`inline` attribute* suggests to the compiler that it should place a copy of
 the attributed function in the caller, rather than generating code to call the
 function where it is defined.
