I was hoping that a reference from a static inline function ought to be
sufficient to prevent warning about an unused-static-not-inline function, even
if the referencing static inline function is unused... It does work that way
with at least the last few versions of gcc (tested 8-11) and clang (tested 6.0
to 13).
