Chronos REQUIRES that the message #future NOT be inlined. The requirement
PREDATES the inlining of #future, and so WILL NOT BE CHANGED, since temporal
precedence MUST BE RESPECTED. 

Also, 'future' belongs with greater weight and precedent to the domain of
time, and date/time functionality is  more fundamental than the competing
usage.

Finally, and most critically: Inlining of messages is a direct contradiction
of the principles on which Smalltalk is based.
