That sounds like a pre-judgement that inline form is prefered ;-)
But actually most places (I looked when doing TIEARAY) perl itself calls
nether it uses AvFILL() macro instead.

We could do with some gprof data - if one of the calls happens zillons 
of times dynamically then it may be worth inlining. But if there are 
lots of calls which only happen rarely we may as well save the code space.
