Sure, but one could argue that a compiler that doesn't support inline
usefully is probably not the sort of compiler that you use for compiling
performance-relevant software anyway. We can support such systems in a
degraded way for historical value and evaluation purposes as long as
it's pretty much free, like we support systems without working int8.
