Is it possible to alias a function and its arguments, but for that function to only be evaluated when the alias is used? For example

alias pragma(inline, true) inline

inline
void func(){}

What you're asking for is possible (see https://run.dlang.io/is/2Lh4Dr for example).

However I don't believe the code sample you're showing is possible, because aliases always evaluate to types or values and you can't use either of those as a function attribute. Also pragmas are not functions.
