If the situation is clear, the compiler gives a hint. In this case, the procedure is inlined if it
is called in the same unit, otherwise not.

The decision, if a procedure can be inlined is pretty difficult and changes also from time to time,
so I prefer neither to document (situation might change and documentation gets wrong) it nor
increase the hints regarding this (sometimes it is really hard to explain why something is not inlined).
