I honestly have no idea whether it causes code bloat - I'd be surprised
if it did since it detects that they are unused, but I cannot rule it
out entirely.
The suggested patch - untested since I have no access to HP-UX - just
adds +W2177 to the compiler's commandline in template/hpux which
supposedly suppressed that warning.

I think removing the quiet inline test is a good idea, but that doesn't
preclude fixing the warnings at the same time.
