Sure, but as I said, there are other reasons why the compiler can generate code
in this way, even if that's unlikely. Without `__always_inline` we don't
actually have a guarantee of inlining, so those warning *is* legitimate, even
if 99.99% of the time the compiler doesn't decide to generate code in a silly
way.

Thanks,
Mark.
