Can we support inline vals?

[davesmith00000]

There was some reason I didn't do this the first time around... but maybe I know enough now to make them work?

The problem is that vals are inlined at a later stage of compilation, so the macros can't see them / they haven't been inlined when the macros are run.

You can however put final on your val (without inline) and it will be inlined correctly, if you want that.

On the compiler phases:

scalac -Xshow-phases

...
               inlining  inline and execute macros
           postInlining  add mirror support for inlined code
checkUnusedPostInlining  check for unused elements

... loads of stuff ... oh look!

             inlineVals  check right hand-sides of an `inline val`s
...
