Kurt, you seem to be more or less impervious to advice :-(.

Please just make the thing be "inline" and have configure define
USE_INLINE, as per previous discussion.  Cluttering the code with
nonstandard constructs is not good for readability.  More, it is likely
to confuse syntax-aware editors and pgindent, neither of which will read
any of the discussion or commit messages.
