I’d say the most called ones, and the ones you don’t mind not being able
to modify once you began to use them: like if you inline `f', then you
use it in hundreds of functions, you won’t be able to just redefun `f'
and get all these functions benefit from the change.  So it’s a matter
of tradeof between speed (if that’s that much important) and dynamism.
