NAME is a static inline which checks if the current invocation takes the critical path and either performs the critical path functionality inline or calls _NAME for the non-critical path functionality. Because it may not be inlined, NAME is also provided as a normal symbol. This optimization was in Mark's original code. I just retained it.
