I am not sure if this makes life much easier for developers, as
"inline" can totally be ignored by the compiler. Also, not sure how
much qualitative improvement it will add in the developer's code
browsing journey. Anyways, I will add "inline" in the next version.

Okay, I will remove it from the previous patch also.

I will make this change. It is indeed better.

I intentionally kept it, as it is also protecting against having
accidently making size_1gb to 0.

Okay, I will change this and any other places I find which can be shortened.
