This is different from inlining in that does not generate a function. You cannot funcall the defined symbol, just use it as a macro. Call sites always macro-expand. I don't really care about or want to really get into a discussion of what compilers do or not, or whether this is "useful" or not. Just wondering if this is some available functionality. E.g., is the Allegro thing contributed to the world, or just proprietary?
The Allegro CL defsubst is not open source, it is not even part of the documented ACL API. I am not aware of any open source implementations, but I'd be interested.
