Well I tried, I really did. But the inliner we have at the moment
uses C-private tree nodes to such an extent that I think it isn't
possible without totally messing up the code. I could replace every
occurrence of these nodes with macros or function pointers, but the
result would not be pretty. The real answer in the long term is, of
course, SIMPLE.
