That's not unlike how the C++ compiler which implements "export"
for templates does it. But of course, doing this means that the
implementors have to invent yet another intermediate format and a
set of tools to deal with it. Since the source code is a perfectly
good representation of what needs to be inlined, there's no real
need to do all that work.
