+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This package provides the macro `define-inline' which lets you define
+;; functions by defining their (exhaustive) compiler macro.
+;;
+;; The idea is that instead of doing like defsubst and cl-defsubst (i.e. from
+;; the function's definition, guess the best way to inline the function),
+;; we go the other way around: the programmer provides the code that does the
+;; inlining (as a compiler-macro) and from that we derive the definition of the
+;; function itself. The idea originated in an attempt to clean up `cl-typep',
+;; whose function definition amounted to (eval (cl--make-type-test EXP TYPE)).
+;;
+;; The simplest use is for plain and simple inlinable functions. Rather than:
+;;
+;; (defmacro myaccessor (obj)
+;; (macroexp-let2 macroexp-copyable-p obj obj
+;; `(if (foop ,obj) (aref (cdr ,obj) 3) (aref ,obj 2))))
+;; Or
+;; (defsubst myaccessor (obj)
+;; (if (foop obj) (aref (cdr obj) 3) (aref obj 2)))
+;; Or
+;; (cl-defsubst myaccessor (obj)
+;; (if (foop obj) (aref (cdr obj) 3) (aref obj 2)))
+;;
+;; You'd do
+;;
+;; (define-inline myaccessor (obj)
+;; (inline-letevals (obj)
+;; (inline-quote (if (foop ,obj) (aref (cdr ,obj) 3) (aref ,obj 2)))))
+;;
+;; Other than verbosity, you get the best of all 3 above without their
+;; respective downsides:
+;; - defmacro: can't be passed to `mapcar' since it's not a function.
+;; - defsubst: not as efficient, and doesn't work as a `gv' place.
+;; - cl-defsubst: only works by accident, since it has latent bugs in its
+;; handling of variables and scopes which could bite you at any time.
+;; (e.g. try (cl-defsubst my-test1 (x) (let ((y 5)) (+ x y)))
+;; and then M-: (macroexpand-all '(my-test1 y)) RET)
+;; There is still one downside shared with the defmacro and cl-defsubst
+;; approach: when the function is inlined, the scoping rules (dynamic or
+;; lexical) will be inherited from the the call site.
+
+;; Of course, since define-inline defines a compiler macro, you can also do
+;; call-site optimizations, just like you can with `defmacro', but not with
+;; defsubst nor cl-defsubst.
