// CXXRTL essentially uses the C++ compiler as a hygienic macro engine that feeds an instruction selector.
// It generates a lot of specialized template functions with relatively large bodies that, when inlined
// into the caller and (for those with loops) unrolled, often expose many new optimization opportunities.
// Because of this, most of the CXXRTL runtime must be always inlined for best performance.
