    Good point. I can see that it's not specifically a language issue
    - that any legal implementation of what the source specified is
    fair game. I'd just hope that those who were writing compilers for
    the embedded marketplace would provide some measure of control
    over it. (I've used some very fine compilers that produce very
    efficient code and I've *still* wished the compiler gave me the
    ability to turn on/off specific optimizations individually.
    Worrying about the exact form of the code you get out is much more
    important in the embedded world.)

    Or maybe it would be fair if the implementation at least *warned*
    you that it was inlining specific routines? Nahhh! I still need to
    be able to say "don't do it because I've got verification issues."
