Is it just me or is inline code really really evil?  Changing something in
a header file is painful enough in terms of having to recompile large
chunks of the program and inline code just increases the frequency of
changes to the header files.  Makes me quite worked up so it does.
One day I'll probably get so annoyed that I'll remove them all from
Umbrello, probably the same day I remove all methods that start with an
upper case letter.  So there.
