This is only a diagnostic regression.  In fact before this patch which added the warning in the inliner, 
we had a diagnostic regression.  So it is either false postive or false negatives.  Take your pick, I rather 
have the false postives as it means you have to look at your code to double check, if we don't get a 
diagnostic at all, the person will complain when we get it right again the next major release.  Again take 
your pick.
