I don't follow this. Inlining is the same as writing the if-test. Given
this:

    procedure Inlined_Log (S : in string; Level : in Level_Type)
    is begin
        if Level > Global_Level then
            put (S);
        end if;
    end Inlined_Log;


then the compiler (with the right switches) should convert this:

    begin
        Inlined_Log (<expression>, A_Log_Level);
    end;

to this:

    begin
        if A_Log_Level > Global_Level then
            put (A_Log_Level);
        end if;
    end;

What is the problem?
