That would be a bit problematic: auto inlining needs to first parse the
routine to determine whether it can be inlined at all which would then
change the checksum of the interface section as now the routine would carry
the node information required for inlining which it didn't before thus
leading to the requirement of an additional compilation pass of dependent
units.
