Jameson, this is really great. I think many of us have been nibbling around the edges of the compiler for a long time and this will give us a great boost to make more integrations happen!
I have a question regarding generated functions. It seems to me the claim that generated functions are black boxes during compilation to be unclear. I believe on 0.4 such code would be inlined if types are inferred correctly. So my confusion seems to be on the role of inference in generated functions. If a call to a generated function is type stable and called from a precompiled function in the same module, the behavior seems to be that the generated function gets the usual compilation treatment. Is this analysis approximate?
