That was my thought...
Given their nature, I'd guess they aren't critical path.
Probably not worth adding an entire source file though.

With regard to 'inline', when I say it, I really mean it!
Unfortunately some people seem to just type it anyway (rather
like 'register' used to get used) - so the compilers start
ignoring the request.
At least some versions of gcc will usually inline static
functions that are only called once - but even then it can
change its mind for almost no reason.
