 * \brief Inlinable API function macro
 
  Small API functions that are candidates for inlining need to be specially
  declared and defined, to ensure that the 'right thing' always happens.
  For example:
    - there must _always_ be a non-inlined version of the function
    available for modules compiled out of the tree to link to
    - references to a function that cannot be inlined (for any
    reason that the compiler deems proper) must devolve into an
    'extern' reference, instead of 'static', so that multiple
    copies of the function body are not built in different modules.
    However, since this doesn't work for clang, we go with 'static'
    anyway and hope for the best!
    - when DISABLE_INLINE is defined, inlining should be disabled
    completely, even if the compiler is configured to support it
 
  The AST_INLINE_API macro allows this to happen automatically, when
  used to define your function. Proper usage is as follows:
  - define your function one place, in a header file, using the macro
  to wrap the function (see strings.h or time.h for examples)
  - choose a module to 'host' the function body for non-inline
  usages, and in that module _only_, define AST_API_MODULE before
  including the header file
