Uhm... how do you inline a function call that's going over a function
pointer? Specifically, ask youself what's involved in inlining a
function.

There's probably a way to make this fly, but the way you have shown
until now isn't it. You could for example have a dispatch _object_,
that is, you end up calling:
dispatch->BlendFunc(...);
and you can switch the dispatch object. You are still calling the
method thru a pointer. You could probably fix that with some clever
use of function templates but I don't have a clear picture how software
fallbacks could (efficiently) work in that case.
