I've just pushed this big patch, as you'll see

|   * Completely new treatment of INLINE pragmas (big patch)
|
|   This is a major patch, which changes the way INLINE pragmas work.
|   Although lots of files are touched, the net is only +21 lines of
|   code -- and I bet that most of those are comments!
|
|   HEADS UP: interface file format has changed, so you'll need to
|   recompile everything.

It's been in my tree for months, and I really wanted to get it out of my hair before I go to India tomorrow.  I have spend much of this week working on it.

However, *naughtily* I have run out of time without fixing two validation failures:

  random1283 fails inexplicably.  Must be investigated, but no time now.

  break018 produces output in different order.  I suspect this is ok
        but can't be sure

IAN: could you make these into expect-brokens or something so they don't mess up
people's validation runs?  But in some way that they don't slip off the radar (tickets?).

Sorry about leaving this not quite done; ran out of time.
