I tend to an approach that is similar to e. g. getc() (and all the
macros the C standard calls "function-like macros"): the header file
provides a prototype for a non-inlined function, and the library
contains this function within an object module.  Then, the header file
contains another inlined function, and a #define that makes this
inlined function available under the same name as the non-inlined one.
If someone wants to use the library version instead of the inlined
version, he can then #undef the name.

Of course, the usage of all this needs to be documented.

Does this sound reasonable to everyone?
