IMO inline directives and roles are conceptually the same thing.

I think we should unify them, i.e. all inline directives become roles
(or the other way round).  In this case we should decide which of the
two names ("inline directive" or "role") we want to drop; we probably
don't need them both.

This has been on my personal to-do list for a long time.  Thanks for
bringing it up!
