I don't doubt it all.  You're obviously very passionate about this.

I'm not trying to turn anything into a flame war, I'm asking you to
_show_ you're right, not to just claim you are.  I even tried to be
helpful with some suggestions because I don't know how well you know
tree-inline and cgraphunit.  If you think that this is "trying to turn
it into a flame war" then, well, let's just say you've got me puzzled.

So a retry:

You keep saying ``Please do give "inline" its original meaning'', but
apparently the people who you're asking to do so disagree with your
ideas and therfore are probably not going to do it.

In a case like this, it is the way of open source software development
that you provide a patch yourself and show that it is an improvement.

Heck, who can tell wether you're right or wrong!?  I don't think you are
right, but I can't prove that.  So all I ask is that if you are
convinced you're right, you should try to prove it.

Gr.
