These are non-standard directives that tell the compiler to either
ensure that the function is called normally (#separate) or expanded
inline every time it's called (#inline).

The compiler has a particular optimization that will automatically
inline functions below a certain size (possibly with other
limitations); this is why you need #separate (to put things back to
the default situation).
