Ah yes, I should've mentioned that! build_assert!() only works for stuff 
that can be const-optimized at build time, which requires inlining. 
Otherwise this change immediately causes build failures since generic 
variants of the functions get compiled (and since they're public 
functions, cannot be optimized out at link time).
