I think so.  In-lining with macros always works, so you are insulating
yourself from the compiler's quality somewhat.  I also notice that more
"advanced" implementations (GCC, C++) give you an "inline" keyword,
rather than improve their own automatic inlining quality.

But of course this is only my opinion.
