If you do this patch first, then you can address some of the FIXME's
earlier in the patch series...

And as I mentioned, we probably want to avoid making them INLINE
functions.  It's always easier to inline a function later if we find
that it shows up on profiles for performance reasons, but if we find
out we need to make changes and it is inline already, it's much harder
to deal with the backwards compatibility issues.
