Actually you mean "Lattice fixed this in 4.0" because it has been out for
almost a month.  The overhead for the call is quite significant, especially
for short programs.  With the 4.0 compiler I have been able to reduce frags to
528 bytes and avail to 748 due to the inline code.  When lines has been
compiled with the builtin functions it runs noticably faster.
