Inlining, as in flattening message sends and inlining machine code? Am I misunderstanding your words or is that what you actually mean to say?
BTW, I really enjoyed Smalltalk: Getting the Message, and I've recommended it to a lot of people. Thanks for writing it!

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.
