Yeah, why not.

I wanted to provide a mechanism for easily adding inline functions to
Guile, with support for platforms where inlining doesn't work.  I
think the code for only-potentially inlined functions is sufficiently
different from ordinary declarative code that it should be kept to its
own.

This might not lead to a good grouping, but the documentation and TAGS
can make up for this.
