Perhaps a comment at the definition of Foo that says "this code has been
inlined elsewhere" makes sense so that if people fix bugs or enhance them
they will be prompted to scout around for other places that need fixing.  (I
hesitate to suggest that all the places a piece of code is inlined should be
recorded, but perhaps that's another option.)
