The original post was about INLINEABLE not INLINE – let’s keep these
two apart
I understand the difference between INLINE and INLINEABLE. However from a practical standpoint aren't the two highly correlated? I wouldn't need to bother with INLINE if GHC considered every function as INLINEABLE and had a good set of inlining heuristics. Also, as a newbie, I would prefer depending on the compiler's heuristics, rather than forcing it to inline functions (the impact of which I may not fully understand)
