Then the compiler had a good reason for doing so, or it's a compiler
bug that should be reported.

I would reject any patch that added inline to a foo.c file, so unless
you want to make suggestions that will cause a contributor's patch to
be rejected, I'd suggest you not recommend inline usage in this way.

Thank you.
