And as a side note, the C standard also added support for 'inline'
functions, except that it's a different and very weird version of it that
to this day I still don't fully understand. It's like an 'inline' that's
*not* an "ODR defeater". (It's so confusing that the vast, vast majority
of C programmers just write "static inline" to get around the confusing
part.)
