Mark, could you answer Daniel's questions? This patch has been in
limbo since last July. I'd like to at least know what needs to be
done to move forward on this.

FWIW, we're shipping this in Archer. I think other organizations are
shipping it as well. Debugging inlined functions nicely is a
frequently requested feature; I answer questions about it on irc at
least once a week.
