?!

It works like that?

I thought an alias was always and only an alias
and nothing more. But here you are saying it is
an alias only with respect to the user, not WRT
the byte-compiler?

Wow!

We probably meed to find the source for the
byte compiler to see how and when it acts upon
"inline"!

PS. Good work! DS.
