Inlining is likely important for performance. Any chance this will be corrected?

Inlining happens in optimizing compilers, on optimizing compiler IR, so it doesn't really make much difference here, IMO. Not sure how we could correct it in a backwards-compatible fashion.

Inlining is pretty heavy, it's probably best done as an offline optimization rather than in the endpoint.
