A rather old Modula II compiler, originally by StonyBrooks did this,
but with mixed results. After a while, we discarded this feature
because it did not interact very gracefully with other goodies
provided by this compiler.


In the meantime, this compiler became Logitech V4 compiler, but I
don't know whether this inlining feature was still present, or whether
it had been removed.


Well, of course, considering only "current" compilers... How current
is Modula II anyway...
