No.  The documentation states that the compilation is done only when the
source file is out of date with the companion object file.  As I
understand it, Inline has some kind of limited automatic make ability.

Reading the documentation, the only thing red-flag I see is that it only
comes with a few of the most obvious typemaps and doesn't seem to have an
interface to adding new ones.
