use module ...; is basically expanded to

   BEGIN {require module;}
   module->import(...);

What Inline does is calling the import method to generate the inlined 
parts. Multiple times.

Joke for ingy: Note that there is no definition for "outlined" parts 
yet, so there is no no Inline => bla part yet. (i.e. the unimport method)
