   > In this initial change I start replacing `inline` with `inline_function` (that is currently a force inline actually) so now I'm thinking of:
   > 
   > 1. Rework `inline_function` to be replacement for `inline`

   This makes sense to me.
   
   `inline_function` means "hint the compiler to inline this function, but compiler may decide not to"
   
   `force_inline_function` means "tell the compiler it must inline this function"
   
   If we discover a compiler that supports `inline_function` but not `force_inline_function` then on that compiler we will "degrade gracefully" and `force_inline_function` will mean the same thing as `inline_function`.
