There has recently been a flamewar on the gcc mailing list where
Linus got mad at the gcc people for no longer inlining functions
that had been inlined since the beginning of time.
Yeah, we discussed it in Japan. Linus acted a loser because his code
bogusly _depended_ on inlining, meaning that it actually broke if the
functions were not inlined. We're not in the same situation here, not
even in the same ballpark.
