Note that the fact that something is easy to do is not in itself a good justification for adding a feature to a language or compiler implementation. Every feature you add adds complexity, so you have to be conservative in adding new features and switches. Chris, if you are really interested in trying this out, do it the simple way first. Write an edit script that adds pragma Inline statements to all subprograms in all specs, then recompile the program. That way you can get some data as to whether this option would be worthwhile.
