Are there any recommendations of not using static keys in widely
used inline functions? I'm not familiar with static key code
generation, but I think the compiler will bloat users with fat chunks
of code in unlikely paths. And I'd assume it creates an array of all
uses, which it'll be walked on enabling/disabling the branch.
