Well, I am the de-facto maintainer of inline and could incorporate changes and extensions there. That's how cxxfunction got into inline. The last four or five minor versions of inline were all done by people other that Oleg (who is the original author). I still feel pretty strongly that for anything beyond ad-hoc work and tests, a package (rather than an inline "hack") should be used. In my view, that is particularly true for a multi-person, multi-year effort such as Stan. But what do I know... | The thing is that Dirk said there were arguments, but I did not know that. It would be nice to have them easily found. I do not understand what you are trying to say here.
