We whould inline more for Fortran at higher optimization levels.

Options to consider:

- Set -finline-limit=600 for -O2 and higher

- Consider heuristics to mark functions as inline in the front end:

    - If it has many arguments (argument processing has a lot of effect)

    - If it uses assumed-shape arrays (setting up that array descriptor
      may take a lot of time

    - Mark everything as inline
