As I mentioned in my other email. I was tired of the bug reports telling me
it was a bug that a function was no longer available for tracing because
the compiler decided to inline it. By having notrace on all inlines, it
made it consistent no matter what the compiler decided to do, and those bug
reports went away ;-)
