There is one see 'ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 N843 Commity Draft (August 3,
1998)':
----------
               function-specifier:
                       inline

        [..]
        [#5]  A  function declared with an inline function specifier
        is an inline function.  (The function specifier  may  appear |
       more  than  once; the behavior is the same as if it appeared |
       only once.)  Making a function an inline  function  suggests
       that calls to the function be as fast as possible.107)   The |
       extent   to   which   such   suggestions  are  effective  is
       implementation-defined.108)

Oh, yes, off coarse. (But) would you be able to do that? (make such a
compiler)

Size.. (unless somebody could send me CD with it)
