How is this different from using an "inline" declaration?
Some compilers ignore inline declarations. With defsubst, you are not at the mercy of the compiler. I have used defsubst (Allegro CL has it) in places where I was absolutely sure that inlining was the right thing to do. Then again, Allegro CL had me do that because it ignores inline declarations, so the whole thing may be a non-issue with other compilers.
