I think that a function attribute would be better. We generally use these flags 
only in the context of certain translation units, and when we use LTO, it would 
be sad if we had to take the most-conservative settings across the entire 
application. When we insert new function call to a standard library, we always 
do it in the context of some function. We'd probably need to block inlining in 
some cases, but that's better than a global conservative setting.
