Its been a while (almost a decade). But as I recall, that command only
built up a list of units along with a mapping to their sources. As it
did not actually compile anything, it would not be considered a
"compilation" in the discussion above.

Just about every library-based model provides a way to introduce units
to the library without compiling them first. But in this state they are
indeed not compiled at all, so I don't think it affects the discussion
about inlining.
