I don't agree. We expect you to support your request in a compelling
way. I haven't seen anything compelling yet. I think there is a real
bug that needs to be fixed, on this we can agree, but when this bug is
fixed, what is the difference between register and inline? Look were
register is today, totally ignored and totally meaningless. inline is
becoming much the same sort of thing, and we don't give hard errors if
register fails, never have never will. For consistency, inline should
behave in a similar fashion.
