Declaration marked with '//go:fix inline' can be inlined

Reports references to functions or constants marked with //go:fix inline.

The //go:fix inline directive indicates that callers and references should be rewritten to use the declaration body. This helps you migrate away from deprecated wrappers and aliases without a manual sweep.

Example:

// Deprecated: prefer Pow(x, 2).
//
//go:fix inline
func Square(x int) int { return Pow(x, 2) }

func Areas(sides []int) []int {
    out := make([]int, len(sides))
    for i, s := range sides {
        out[i] = Square(s)
    }
    return out
}

To fix the code, use the Inline call of inline.Square quick-fix.

After the quick-fix is applied:

func Areas(sides []int) []int {
	out := make([]int, len(sides))
	for i, s := range sides {
		out[i] = Pow(s, 2)
	}
	return out
}

The same directive can be used on constants to rewrite references to the constant value or alias target.
