Well, see how big the function is and how often it gets called.
One can define it as a static inline function if it doesn't
bloat the binary too much. Calls to "leaf" functions can
be pretty light weight.

FWIW, I think of static inline functions as "macros with typechecking".
Ie they can be defined in .h files instead of .c files.
